My ponderings of the day:
*I never expected I could sit on the floor and play for hours and still feel exhausted at the end of the day.
*I never expected something as simple as making dinner to be so challenging some days.
*I never expected to be so excited to hear my baby say “mama.”
*I never expected to be SO tired!
*I never expected that the hour before Andy got home from work could take so very long.
*I never expected that I could be with someone all day and still feel lonely sometimes.
*I never expected that I would be so excited to see a two year old’s look of pride from riding his trike up a hill.
*I never expected that I would sometimes not take a shower until after noon (or maybe not at all).
*I never expected I would love to mow the lawn so much…because it’s my quiet, alone time outside.
*I never expected I had it in my to not get sick to my stomach while changing a particularly explosive diaper or after getting thrown up on.
*I never expected I could love my husband more just by watching him be Daddy!
*I never expected nap time would be so sacred!
*I never expected that sometimes I would let my child cry through Target because I wasn’t going to give in to the demand and I really needed to finish my shopping.
*I never expected that sometimes I would just give in to my whining child’s demand to keep them quiet in Target.
*I never expected that some days the only time my house is picked up is before we even wake up.
*I never expected that I would care so much about vegetable consumption.
*I never expected that I would not freak out when my child eats the days old cheerio out of the sweeping pile.
*I never expected that I would fear so many things happening to my kids.
*I never expected to feel so much…of everything!
