My Little World

I was sitting on the couch, feeding Lucas, while Seb is at school, and watching Shan sleeping. No matter how much time I get with them, it's just never enough for me. They are growing so fast...Too fast. Lucas will be 5 months old on Easter, Shan is turning 3 next month, and Seb is on the "1st Grade list" for this coming school year (I didn't even know there was an official list).

I watch them, studying every little detail, trying to make a memory of what the look like at every different stage of their lives. And I feel so much love for them that it actually makes my heart hurt. Being "here" at this stage in my life...Kids and a husband, the family pet, all settled down. It's so far from where I imagined my life.

It's amazing to think that even though there are some pretty crazy things happening in the world all around us, inside these walls our little world is a pretty happy and beautiful one. My life might not be glamorous, I mean I don't drive an expensive European car and my house isn't huge (it's not even mine, haha), I'm always cleaning and spend my "day at work" surrounded by little people, and yes I get spit up on quite regularly, but I have a truly amazing life (for me anyway). I love my life. How many people can say they are at work almost 24/7 and still love their job...What a life, eh?...Cleaning & cooking, washing & drying, changing diapers and burping babies and often wearing their lunch and relating to kids through their art work and cartoons...It might be a small & boring little world to someone else, but it's mine and it totally rocks!
