Being a mom, is the best job there is

My weeks are always adventurous seeing that I am currently staying at home with two three year olds. My days consist of meltdowns spills and very highly anticipated naptimes. But there also joy, where I get random hugs big kisses on my foreheads and made up songs randomly sang to much. When I decided to take a break from home to raise my son and take on my three year old step daughter full time, I thought after awhile I would loose my mind. But I realized its so worth it.


Before I would wake up and rush my son to work, where I worked 8 hours so I wasn't really seeing him and was missing out a lot on special moments. Now I get woken up to kisses and morning cuddles. There's nothing like snuggling under a blanket with your little one tucked right under you. The beginning of this week we decided to just stay in our pjs all day watch cartoons and just relax. I can honestly say its so relaxing. Hearing kids run around just having fun with out a care in the world is just relaxing. No job to me could ever replace this. The second half of the week we had a few adventures. One day we enjoyed the haunted happenings in Salem, and another day we had lunch and spent FOUR hours just hanging at the park. Nothing like enjoying the day and having to rush no where. During the end of the week the kids enjoyed some lunch and shopping with me and my boyfriend. Its always nice to spoil them once in while. That's the whole point of being a parent.


The weekend was very busy for us. On Saturday night my sons dog got loose, we was all heartbroken. He got out at about seven at night and we searched until about ten but had no luck. So it was a long night and Sunday was a long day. By Monday morning my son refused to talk to me and was slamming doors telling me how mad he was. But with luck he was found. When we went to pick him up, my sons excited brought tears to my eyes watching him jump and scream "Charlie" and telling everyone its his dog just made my day better.


 
 


When I stop and notice and I cant help to watch the things you do,
like when you get excited to wear you blue shark boots.
Or your face when you walk in the Disney store,
and get to pick out your own new car toy.
The excitement in your face when you see me every morning
or when we just lay and bed and feel like being boring.
When I stop and notice I see the love you have for me,
your smile when we drive the car and sing our abcs.
The hugs you give me when im feeling sad,
and how you make you crazy faces whenever you know you make me mad.
Everyday is a new lesson taught,
being a mother is an excited job, even though its harder than I thought.
Little do you know you've changed my life,
You've came into my world and now everything just seems right.
Ive noticed the change you've brought out in me.
Such a positive person now and many people can see.
When I stop and notice, I see how much I need you,
you are the reason I want to do everything I do.
Ive come to notice each day I love you more and more.
Even though it sounds crazy its true.
When I stop and notice I realize I couldn't love anyone more than I do you.

  1. Sade,

    Great free write. I think this is a great ode to your son, and to your own life, as you sit and write out how much you appreciate your current situation. Your present moment.

    Very touching and very sweet. It seems like these children bring you great peace and purpose, and that is a powerful thing. Not every parent notices these joys. Not every parent can be that present with their children.

    Excellent poem. I really like it as an ode to a loved one. An homage.

    Good work. I'm glad to see you posting.
