When the days blur into night and they seem to last forever...
When you feel like you can’t rock your child another minute…
When you could cry from being so exhausted…
When the fifth meal attempt just wasn’t good enough…
When you can’t hear another question…
When you feel like you’re never doing it good enough…
When you feel like you’re able to crumble into a thousand
pieces, every day…
When you feel this, keep in mind that in this moment of time, you are this
child’s whole world.
You are their reason for existence.
Their reason for love.
And one day, so soon, they will no longer need so much from you.
Parenting the first five years is demanding and exhausting -But
once it passes, the years click away like the second hand on a clock.
It’s easy to get caught up in today.
To try to accomplish too much and push off time with
your children –thinking, I’ll always have tomorrow.
But tomorrow comes too quick and those days are lost.
Relish in today…
Enjoy the neediness, the chaos.
Indulge in the unexpected, realizing you’ll never get it
right every day.
Some days you’ll feel like you can’t breathe and other days, you’ll
wish you could breathe in it all.
