I am a Dinosaur Mom

So I retired.  I MEAN I AM TIRED.  I  am  sleep hoar.  I recently read an article by a "mommy blogger".  She said  things like I can't wait for my kids to bed.... I can't spend time with them...Carpi Diem.  Well you know what, work from the time you are 14 years old and one day wake up  at 39 and walk your son to the bus.  (This is just my opinion and doesn't represent my blog or its owners.)  We all have things that have be come so trivial in life.  One time my friend Cheri said "Look at your babies and burn it in your brain".....and I was lucky enough to have some of those memories burned in my brain.  Last year I had to make the hardest decision of my life....which may sound trivial because it was just a job but, I had a blessing and a curse.  My sister Diane, who I believe is just a living angel.  She had just lost a baby.  When I went to Preston to she her, I saw a pain,  I don't remember seeing someone in that amount of pain.  I guess I am realizing how old I am and I think I appreciate being a mom more. I am much more present and feel very blessed.   I was talking to one of my best friends today....we discussed how hard it is to work and be a mom.  Some people can do both.  I don't think I could do it anymore.  So a shout out to the Mom's that have been around their kids 24/7and the patience that takes and a shout out to the moms that work and have kids and shout out to the one that don't have kids....  It is all good....One of my favorite quotes is, "There is no way to be a great mom, but a MILLION ways to be a good one."  I feel like I am a Dinosaur mom.  Sienna wanted a Dinosaur House not a doll house for Xmas,  I'm glad I get to see her enjoy it.
