Sometimes...

Sometimes I feel like I’m living life in a dream and then I realize…my dream has become my reality.

Sometimes I get frustrated (usually when I’m tired) and then all it takes is a little grin or even alligator tears tracing their way down the face of one of my babes, and my frustration melts away into a puddle of tenderness.

Sometimes I can’t believe I get to hold hands with this handsome man whenever I want. Love him!

Sometimes I get upset by the lack of compassion I see in society and then something happens to remind me that most people are really good at heart and are trying their best.

Sometimes we have popcorn and cereal for dinner after we put the babies to bed and are too tired to fix anything else.

Sometimes it gets cold in Arizona and one time it happened to be on picture day. This mama forgot a sweater for her little daughter and thus smiles were hard to come by.

Sometimes I take a lot of pictures and it’s because I am trying so desperately to hang on to these moments that time insists on ripping from my grasp. My babes won’t be babes for much longer.

 Sometimes we have dance parties. And, by ”sometimes” I really mean daily.

Sometimes I plan to go to the park and then realize that it is only in the 50s outside so I hide out in my heated house.

Sometimes when I sit at the computer I have a baby (or more often two) clamoring at my feet to be lifted to coveted spot that is my lap.

Sometimes I cry at Hallmark commercials.

Sometimes I feel like the luckiest: girl, wife, mother, neighbor, friend, daughter, sister, cousin, granddaughter…you name it… I’m the luckiest!  My life is so blessed!
