Just Another Day

A mommy never stops smiling....


This has more truth in it than you realize. Sometimes, as a mommy, I am smiling because my 3 boys are absolutely amazing and bring me more joy than words could ever express.....the kind of moments that facebook status' are made of. Then, at other times, I smile because they have said or done something that makes me laugh and think 'this really isn't happening right now'....you know what I am talking about. The smile that comes from that moment when all you can think is 'this isn't really my life'. Funny, though, those moments also make it to become great facebook status' too. You have to wonder if some people stay on your friends list just because your life makes them a bit more grateful for their own....who knows...

So, where are we? Well, I am currently a working mother of 3.....ages 8, 4, and 2....but on Monday, my notice will officially be given & I will be staying home with my boys on a full time basis. Its quite a change. The kind I wish I could watch somebody else go through & then decide for myself if it is something I can do. The staying home part doesn't scare me. I really do have cool kids....but the not having money part...holy smokes I am not ready for that!! I haven't told the kids yet, just in case something happens and I keep working. Dom would be crushed if I told him I was staying home & then didn't. He is the 4 year old & is my baby....I mean...not my favorite or anything because mommy's don't have those, but he is the middle child (which I was) and he favors me....when daddy is tickling mommy & Isaiah is holding me down & Vincey (the true baby) is plopping himself on my face.....Dom is the only one trying to rescue me. Bless his little heart. This, for the record, is an unfair fight....given the physical proportions of my family, Isaiah, daddy & vincey are built like football players...mommy & Dom are closer to string beans. Daddy can hold both of my hands in one of his....So, in a tickle fight, mommy & Dom lose (but we do put up a pretty darn good fight).
In any event, we are on the verge of a huge change for my family...feel free to follow along...even I don't know how this one will go....but I bet I will smile through it!!
