Mama in the Making

I read this wonderful story a long time ago about the miracle that mothers are. It takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30 years to see the miracle unfold, so a lot of people miss it. After reading that, I have recognized the miracle that it is when a girl becomes a woman and then a mother.
This morning I was getting ready for work. Halea was sleeping in my bed. She had fallen alseep there with her dollies last night, and I didn't have the heart to move her. So, while I was doing my hair, I heard my daughter's sweet, breathy voice say in a hushed tone, "It's ok baby, mama's got you", something I have said to her when she has been upset. I looked around the corner and there she was wrapping her dolls in my workout sweat towel and rocking them. Miracle in the making!

This whole working mom thing is harder than I thought it would be. I haven't really cooked since getting the job. Ryan has been awesome to take my role while I have been working. He just got a job at a mental health facility, so things are about to change, AGAIN! We won't see much of each other working opposite shifts, but the kids won't have to be in daycare at all. Halea and Apollo are going to start afternoon preschool so the small hiccup when Ryan leaves for work and I get home, the kids will be taken care of. I feel so blessed that everything is working out well ~ better than I could have imagined.

I took on another bootcamp class. Going a month without teaching was killing me! It's one thing I'm really good at ~ fitness is my passion and I love sharing that with people. So, I feel blessed to have this awesome class to teach. They're not my Friday am mommy friends, but they'll do. And I'm sure they will become friends soon.

Summer is 11 weeks away ~ that's when I'm done working for the 2011/2012 school year. I can't wait to have long lazy summer days with the kids.
