A Moment

yes, Another Moment...

This morning was like any other day.

It started out slow.

We woke up, ate breakfast and started to play Lego's.

I am not a huge fan of taking my kids to the park. It is usually like a zoo.

The thoughts that sometimes run through my head go a little something

like Kangaroo from Horton Hears a Who...When she says 

"The Jungle is no place to act like a wild animal".

My Mom is in town cause my Sis had her baby this week. 

She sent a text and asked if we wanted to meet her at the park.

So we did.

During that time at the park I felt so WONDERFUL!

I was in my grubbies, hat and sunglasses.

Other Moms were there dressed like they were getting ready to go on a hot date.

All talking to each other while their kids played.

For the first time in a long time I enjoyed the park with my kids and niece and nephew.

We ate, played soccer and "pirates".

I played with them.  The entire time. 

It was so fun.

This time with them is only a short moment.

Audrie goes to kindergarten next year, and I will miss her. 

How come I haven't done this more often?  Time is precious.

I had a Moment then...in that Moment, I remembered how lucky I was to be a MOM.

Not a mom who came to the park to socialize, (Which really isn't wrong,

but I was grateful to fully be focused on my kids.)

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in cleaning and everyday shenanigans that I don't get to relish in the face that I am a MOM!  I get to be home with my kids and I get to play with them! Who cares if the house is clean, or if we are clean for that matter!  We love each other and we love to explore and play.

So the Moment at the park when the sun was shining and I was running around the field with my kids, I realized that I have been to distracted to appreciate my role, I decided to change...I am grateful for that Moment.
