Lucky Me

Well, hello there.

I am here once again to brag about my life and my kids, because they are both great you know.

It is 8:03am on a Saturday morning, and I feel as if I should still be in bed, but I am not. I woke up with a headache, but hopefully after a little light exercising and a cup of coffee that will fade, if not theres always Tylenol.

I was sitting on my front porch drinking my cup of coffee, watching the monitor, waiting for Norah to move, wake, cry, when like a wave, peace, contentment, and happiness came over me, and I smiled.

I have days yes, where I would rather claim someone else's life, but most of the time I am perfectly fine with my own. I am thankful for so many things.

 I love my husband. I mean really love him, lol. He gets me. Even when I am crazy, complicated, and don't make any sense at all, he still knows exactly how to handle "me". He loves me no matter what. I love that I can count on him. If I am having a bad day, I can call Jerry at work, and he will listen, or talk me down. He is supportive, and understanding almost always. I love that I can go to him with a problem, or ask him for help, and he hears me, and tries to help me more. I know I am loved by him in so many ways, but the most special and important way right now, is that he is my rock, my friend, my father, my debate partner, my lover, the father of my wonderful children, and my husband. He is my support, he knows what I need emotionally and he does his best to fill that need, he knows I need security, and he tries his best to make sure I feel secure in every way. I feel so lucky, so blessed, so chosen, to have my Jerry. Jerry and I were brought together by a force greater than us, and I am so grateful that he was put in my life path. Thank you Jerry, for being the man of my dreams.

I am thankful for my two beautiful children. I can not imagine my life without them.

Norah is so full of life. She amazes me in every way. I have so many hopes for her for her life. She is interested in everything. She loves to be outside, and right now her favorite thing outside is bugs! She loves rollie-pollie's! She laughs and claps and squeals at the bugs, and points and says "Bu", "Bu" for bug. Norah wakes up happy everyday, she smiles, and laughs, and loves on me. There is nothing better than the love from a child, and nothing better than waking up with her every day.

Patrick is my fantasy child. I love how he pretends...constantly. He changes clothes 10 times a day, and pretends he is someone different with each outfit change. He is usually eager to help with anything, and can be easily persuaded to do my bidding, (being picking up after himself). Patrick is, without a doubt, the best big brother ever. He is so good with Norah, and helps me with her so much. He is so sweet, and loving, and I feel so lucky to have him as one of my children.

I don't know how it works, but sometimes I feel like my kids chose me for a reason, and that we all deserve each other. I have so many good hopes and dreams for my children and family. I love them so much, and they are all my favorites.
