Many of you I am sure have noticed the new feature on facebook that tells you what your status was "On this day in.." Well I was on there this morning and noticed that my status on this day two years ago in 2009 said "Life is good today!" I can't remember what I was doing on that particular day, but I do know that it was almost exactly three months after I quit my job. I was still transitioning (BIG TIME) from full time working mom to full time stay at home with no adult interaction mom. I had a four year old and a one year old. Two years later....this morning....woke up and went to load my six year old and three year old into the car for school and had a flat tire. I jacked the car up....took the tire off and realized that the tool to get my spare off is in my husbands truck. So I cancel all my plans for the day and let Brooke stay home from school. Even though I never thought I would be a stay at home mom I am fully transitioned into my new chapter of motherhood where a whole day can change in the matter of seconds. I am undoubtedly thank full for where my life is at this very moment of time. I spend my days trying to soak in every second....The high today is 80 degrees....I have both of my kids home with me today....and not one single place to be and I just poured a cup of coffee...so even though the odds were against me this morning and I probably should be having a bad day.....I am going to open every window in this house and clean like there is no tomorrow...and spend the day enjoying my children.....SO...I would have to say that.....Exactly TWO years later....Life is good today!!!
In 2009 I traded meetings and lunch breaks for potty training and play dates when I quit my full time job to be a full time mom to my independent and very "spirited" five year old and my incredibly curious at times mischievous two year old. Every day is something new...this is my life and all that it entails.
