Random Thoughts.....

So, today when I picked up Corbin from School, the sitter said Case said as I pulled into the driveway, " I want to see my mama!" When I got in there he gave me big hugs and kisses and was way sweet. Sometimes he even will ask me, "Mom, can I go to work with you?" All this got me to thinking of how important each day is and how quickly time slips away. I thought about how cute Corbin was at this age and then I realized that this time was gone, it was time I would simply never get back! Sometimes as a working mom, you wonder if it is all worth it to try to juggle so much. You never know who you are really doing right by and struggle to find enough time for all involved. It makes you think about savoring each moment as if it was the last moment you had. I can't help but wonder if this was the best time of my kids lives and if I was in effect missing it?!? I think a lot these days about what the future holds and I have found out that somewhere along the line, my heart has turned to mush. My kids have turned me into a big ole softie!! I spend my time thinking about all the things I wish for them in the future and how I hope we can all grow old together experiencing life. With such a large extended family I can't help but wonder if we all will be spared from hardship and have the opportunity to appreciate each and every one of us for the people we are and the traits we each bring to the table. As the old saying goes, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Life is not always what you would want and not always what you dreamed it to be, but for most of us, at the end of the day, it is still pretty damn good. Keep that in the fore front of you mind and spend a little time being thankful each day. Peace out..............
