Well... the holidays have come and gone and we are well into 2015...
"Busy" just barely describes my life right now... it is just... full... constant... barraged with unending demands... both at work and at home... incessant...
My life overflows with warm cuddles... affectionate squeezes... and silly giggles...
and still there are the shrill screeches... the frustrated tears... the sad whimpering...
I cherish the triumphant smiles... the excited whispers... the tender hugs...
and yet deal with the angry scowls... the mischievous ploys... the obstinate insubmission..
My kids are seven, five, three, and one. They are so little, so cute and yet so physically draining and taxing.
I love it. It may not seem like it every second, every moment, everyday... especially when my voice escalates and my face contorts... but I do... I love it. I love holding their little hand... embracing their little body... kissing their squishy cheeks... I love being their mom. I love them.
Happy New Year, everybody! May 2015 bring new memories to be made... accomplishments to achieve... and just treasured times with loved ones...
