Today I had my MNMs group and as always, one of the things that I love about it is that it gets me thinking. Some days I wonder if I “think” or just bumble along and control the chaos day in and day out. I’m no idiot, my college degree didn’t come out of a cracker jack box, but I’m not one to seek out learning experiences. Anyhow, having this place to go and turn on my brain is a good thing.
Today one of the moms had written a list of things she had before kids that she doesn’t have now. Examples were sleeping in on the weekend and being able to go to the bathroom without company. I can relate 100%, it’s been AGES since I peed in peace. As I understood and saw all the things that she listed, I too realized that it wasn’t so much that I missed these things. I have so much more now that we have a family and we are truly blessed. Sounds cliche, and believe me there are days when I fall into bed exhausted and can’t wait for that day to end, but for the most part life is good.
