I love my children but sometimes I do miss some things. Today is one of those days where you wish so hard for just an hour of quiet. I remember the days when I had daily showers, had time to do my hair and nails and got to watch movies that didn't involve sesame street. I remember the days when I had a full nights rest, when my clothes actually fit and weren't covered in spit up, boogers, or peanut butter. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and I miss those days. After a moment of self pity I really start to remember those days. Though I had a lot more freedom, nicer clothes and was always clean I just can't imagine ever going back. Sure my kids are often crying at the same time and I've got two babies on my hips while trying to stir sometimes on the stove but when they're not crying and running a mock they're giggling, giving me hugs and kisses, smiling at one another and showing me just how much love I have to give to them. Some days are absolutely crazy and I just want to cry/scream/jump off a fire escape but when those moments pass the happiness I get from my beautiful family is well worth the chaos.

beautiful post Mylyn. I completely hear ya. Sometimes you just want to pull your hair out...but those cute giggles and smiles make it all worth it! You're such a cute mommy and your kiddos are ADORABLE!!!
I love this! You put into words what i'm sure every mom feels from time to time, i know i do! Being young and single was so much fun, but being mamma is fun too and so much more fulfilling! Love those babes :)
