Today

Today, I'm making a recommitment to document my days as a young mom. It has been awhile since I've taken the time to write. I have a million reasons why I couldn't find the time, small kids, new babies, new babysitting jobs, youth sports etc... but I look back at how fast time has gone by already, and I know that if I don't take a moment to jot some of these memories down...they will be forever lost in my exhausted mind. The new baby, another boy, is due in July. Marlie is 7, Daniel 6, Trenton almost 5, Phillip 3, Aiden 2 and Ella is 1. The days are so busy now that they seem to mesh together. Pregnancies practially fly by. School years seem like they only last a month or two. Before I know it, the next child is waving goodbye as they step onto the bus. Why can't I remember years 20-27? Am I ever going to be done with pregnancy? Will there ever be a day without diaper changes and chaos? These questions perplex me. Anyway, today is my fresh start. And I just have to answer my own questions with a long sigh and an honest "I don't know", for now. Maybe looking back on these posts will help me appreciate my todays more, and be able to remember my chaotic, but cherished, yesterdays.
