(Turn Turn Turn)...
I knew there was a reason that I had this song stuck in my head all the way back from the Shore on Sunday....which by the way....was NOT an even abbreviated....in my wildest dreams....tropical vacation....
Mr Weatherman.....You Lied to me....it was not warm....it was not sunny.....and I think you need to send me the $25.61 in gas it took me to drive there...to find out just how cold and windy the shore really can be....
But alas.....that really isn't the reason behind the byrds song still two days later still resonating in my morning foggy mind....
I woke up this morning...thinking....(I think it was the change in weather that's done it)....WOW...another Summer gone....another Fall Beginning.....
Another Season further away from the Corporate....run run run....life I had before.....
Another Season with my new Stay at home Mommy....run run run....life I have now....
As I lay underneath the down comforter...with 2 out of the three dogs snoring beside me....some ME time before I hear the little Chortle of Pooh in the other room....
I realized I've accomplished a lot in the last few seasons......Some of which include...but are not limited to....
Being able to multi-task while having a 21 lb wiggly toddler strapped to my hip.....a feat my husband still tends to have problems with....(HA)
That my not quite back to pre-baby body....and slightly (ahem)...okay...more than slightly rounder booty....does look good in a pair of jeans.....
(Probably one of the more important).....Taking parenting advice from your parents....is NOT mandatory.....though I'm sure they wish it was....
I've gained Confidence in my own parenting skills....I'm realizing I'm not inept...that somewhere within myself I am getting all this good parenting sense....(see above)
That even staying home....can give me utter fulfillment...and joy....and the same satisfaction as when I was running a $4 million dollar department....who knew?
Another Season.....Another leg of the journey.....this one is always one of my faves....full of Hayrides....Pumpkin Picking.....silly Costumes......Daddy will Actually be Home.....
Oh but did I mention....he's deploying on Christmas Eve......Such is the Military life.....Hey...A)We'll just celebrate a day early....and B) at least I got more than 2 weeks notice this time!.....
Little Blessings......
