Things I Know...

I know that...
...this smile warms my heart.

So does this one.

I know that...

...my mom's hot tea will always taste better and soothe my soul more than any other cup of tea.

...when I am sick, scared, worried, or down, a part of me wants my mom.

...I fiercely love my girls in a way I never knew possible.
 
I know that...
 
...my true happiness doesn't come from my job, my possessions, or my wants, but rather from the success and love of my little family.
 
...I want my girls to feel safe, loved, and confident every day.
 
...I want to be a mom who nurtures her children without smothering them.
 
I know that...
 
...I have a lot to learn about life, parenting, success and failure.
 
...I am blessed even when I pity myself.
 
...time is flying by, and I better not blink.

Friday Night Lights - A Poem...

The Friday night lights were back in full swing. Lyla arrived at the game asleep in her sling. All was well, the lights were bright. Little did we know that the end was in sight. The speaker came on and proclaimed domination. And that, dear friends, led to overstimulation. So we packed up our baby and checked on the time. The game started at seven-thirty, We left at seven-thirty-nine. The end.
