It's 12:51 in the afternoon and I can't catch a break. My house is a wreck. Order turned chaos and I want nothing to do with it. I would rather sit here by my lonesome and chill. But most of my fellow parents out there can relate, as my Grandmother would state, "This isn't Burger King and you can't always have it your way." For in the background I have a hungry tired baby, a hyperactive dog in dire need of a hard core run, a husband lacking my thinning attention and a house so ignited with mess that I'm almost certain one spark could send this sucker into space.
It's times like these that I have to take a moment for me and literally just do
nothing at all. And in this exact moment that I have taken for myself, as I pass by the mountain in my laundry room, as Barley dog drops his ball at my feet; tail wagging in anticipation, as my baby looks at me with his crocodile tear filled eyes and my husband asks "What's for lunch", in this
EXACT moment, I have come to the realization that there is no better feeling in the world than to feel wanted. Needed.
Desired.
May your life be filled with such beautiful chaos.
