Out little life...this is our family's story...your kids story. This summer has been a complete whirlwind, on the tails of a school year that was very much the same. As I try to prepare for the inevitable changes our family is about to encounter as we all go back to school in a few weeks, I struggle with pace of life and whether or not we will remember all the beautiful memories we are making here. So many moments have already passed, some recorded in my memories others faded already. This is how I have decided to start recording our story. A friend last week suggested to me that the as a working mom of three for over the past 20 years, she had no idea how she had done it finishing with "you won't remember half of it...you just do it." I have thought a lot about that statement, and although meant to calm and comfort, it has had quite the opposite effect on me. So, as a working mom of three I have decided that is not enough for me. I refuse to settle, to give into the pace of life and just "get by". You three and your Dad are my everything. YOU are the reason I do what I do every day. That being said, and yes, I suppose it's greedy, I also want to remember every minute of this ride with each of you. So, I commit that every day for the next year to write to you, record our journey, in hopes that one day we can all look back and remember...it was a good little life.
Sweet dreams and love to you all, Mom
