respect

i have a new found respect for working moms, stay at home moms, homeschooling moms, alllllll moms... being a mom is HARD work.

this week's round-up...

• sam spit up down my shirt
• sam peed like a fountain... on the rug, on his changing pad, on his face, in the tub
• sam pooped while taking a bath
• sam had to wait for me to feed him... which resulted in many tears, mostly from sam
• waking up early to feed sam and not being able to go back to sleep which turned into: doing the dishes, eating breakfast (often happens LATE or never b/c i'm taking care of sam), reading my bible
• because sam woke up early, he had a nap and i had time to: shower, work, clean, unpack more boxes

but i can say, now that my life and schedule has changed, i love it even more.

i love...

• sam sleeping on my chest
• sam's heavy breathing when he sleeps
• when sam snuggles up to me
• dancing with sam
• singing with sam - he loves him some music
• bathtime with sam
• reading with sam
• his smiles and talking
• his interactions w/his dad
• and i could probably come up with a hundred more reasons... but i won't.

i am happy to say i have found more time and less sleep and can still function. i don't know how it happened.
