A year gone by

Dang, did i really just snooze and have two years go by? Snooze is not really the appropriate word though, truth be told. More appropriate list of words would be blazing fast, skidding in sideways, petal to the metal. Trying to relish the full steam nature of being a mom with the treasurable moments of the day is a challenge. It's a near impossible task but i try. The needs are so pressing and usually all the time. I've had other moms tell me that they would trade their clean, empty house for loud chaos again anyday. So, I tell myself to watch for the moments and don't let the tyranny of the urgent drown out the important things like singing a song with my 8 year old. Living in the memory of today.
