I now fully comprehend and appreciate
when mommas say that have "lost" themselves.
We now have 4 kiddos living in our home
from an infant all the way to a full fledged tween.
Between getting everyone ready, off to school, back from school,
homework, baths, dinner, laundry...
I hardly have to to enjoy a 15 minute shower.
But this last weekend I got out of my sweats
and into a new dress I recently purchased
from etsy shop Fruit Salad.
To celebrate my hubby's birthday with my grandparents.
We had a great time, and my kiddos were a lot of help -
one of them actually likes cleaning toilets!
The weather here in Idaho
is finally starting to look like spring
I love all the seasons
but I am ready for nice sunny days
so my kiddos can run out some energy in the back yard.
The hubby has been teasing me that foster mommas
don't get Mothers Day...
but I truly have to say that motherhood
has changed me.
I no longer feel lost!
Sure I may not be able to dress up
quite so much
but for the first time in my life
I feel like I have a purpose for waking up
and peace of mind each night
when my head finally hits my pillow.
So to all my friends who are mommas
Happy Mother's day!
What you do is beautiful
that makes you a beautiful person!!!!
yes, even without your makeup on :D
