A friend of mine has a small business where she makes ADORABLE home decor signs. One sign, that she and her son made together for his rooms, says "It's Awesome Time." Love this. I makes me excited. It's Awesome Time. My current life situation has one mantra that dictates the purpose of every moment of my day-- KEEP EVERYONE ALIVE. I have a just barely three year old boy (who is CRAZY. Like really crazy... I will qualify this statement in future posts... I promise), twin twenty two month old girls, and ten week old boy/girl twins. Aaaah. Even composing that sentence was tiring. No but really, I feel successful right now, at the end of this long day, sitting on the couch with my hands free pumping tank on and my Medela hard at work, toys all around me, dirty dishes in the sink and clean ones in the dishwasher, old and new diaper and wipes boxes from Amazon littered throughout my house and disorganization behind every cabinet door... yes I feel successful. Why? because my kids, my husband, my dog, and I- we made it through one more day. Everyone of us survived. so I sit here thinking "It's Awesome Time." When I get up tomorrow to the sweet sound of my screaming children, waking me for another day of pure crazy, imagine me in slow motion walking out of my bedroom with bed head and smeared make-up saying to myself, "It's Awesome Time" because it is. Why? Because I am a Mom! and being a mom is AWESOME! It's hard, tiring, crazy, awesome work that defines who I am. It dictates my schedule and is the hardest thing I have ever done. But hard is good. It is the BEST kind of hard I have ever done. So when you wake up tomorrow say to yourself, "It's Awesome Time", because it is. It's Mom time. And you are doing the most important thing you can do. we don't do it perfect. We don't live in pinterest, Instagram, or Facebook land. I mean, my kids live in pajamas, the same ones that they have been living in for way too many days to admit. So here's to us moms- It's Awesome Time.
