The days are long, but the years are short!

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty

Another mother's day has come and gone! I have come a long way since last year! It's amazing how you think you have it all figured out and then this little person comes along and turns your world upside down. My life has been forever changed! I have accepted that my life is no longer my own. I have accepted the fact that I will never be able to sleep past 7:00am. I have accepted the fact that my food is no longer just mine and that I will give up my last bite of deliciousness just to see my little man smile! I have accepted the fact that fancy dinners are a thing of the past. I have even accepted that I no longer control the radio in the car nor do I control the TV. My life is ruled by the whims of a 33 inch tall little boy. So yes at long last I have learned to put myself second. It was a slow process but this little guy has completely won me over. At 19 months he has become my sun, moon, and stars. I love that little man!!

It's not always easy being the mommy and I admit there are times that I want hit the pause button. Then there are the moments where just one hug, one kiss, one smile from him melts my heart. I love that little man! A wise mommy friend told me The days are long, but the years are short! It makes me stop and think about how fast he is growing up and reminds me to hug and kiss him one more time than I did the day before. What a blessing I have in my little boy! Just one little sparkly smile can light up my day!

Thanks for making me a mommy Owen!

Thanks James for helping me be the best mommy that I can be!
