Usually I'm all boo hoo over having to drop my son off with his aunt. NOT THIS MORNING!
I definitely wish that I could work less so I could be a bigger part of his life. Definitely. It is mornings like this one though that prove to me that full time mommy is not what I want on my resume. If I were rich and I didn't have to work, I would probably still try and figure out something that gave me a little space from my 19 month old. I love him, I adore him, I want to kiss him every waking moment of the day. Today, I am glad to not have to hear his whining. I am glad to not have to be the parent. I am glad to not have to figure out which hill I want do die on. I am glad he is pitching a fit for someone else at this moment. I will be thrilled to pick him up at 5pm and restore my mantle of "Mother". Until then, I am appreciating that I will go to the grocery store on my lunch break and not have to avoid the bananas for fear of the inevitable "NANA!" screaming that would ensue.
About Me
- Beth
- I am honest, can say practically anything because I have good delivery (but often am missing the wit to create things on the fly), I mess up euphemisms and still try to use them, I tend to mother people. I am, to my shame, very selfish, but working harder on changing that than I have ever worked on anything in my life. My #1 goal in life is to be friends with Jesus. My #2 goal is to be a good wife and mother. My #3 goal is to be joyful. I cherish my friends, and I have a really hard time with strangers, but can put on a good face when I try. I am warm, self deprecating, large, supportive, and it takes me a very long time to make a decision.
