One day, they won't get home until the sun is about to set.
One day I will have all the time in the world to remember "these days". These are the days that FLY by. The days that are so full I go 14 hours before I sit down and take a breath.
These are the days that include snack bags for every outing, diaper changes in the most inopportune places and times, full hands barely able to carry everything, a mind split in so many different directions I can barely keep up.
These are the days that seem so long they leave you weary and wishing for a break, yet at the same time I know they are also the same days I will dream of coming back to...for just one day, for just one more moment like this.
To hold them close, to feel their little hands.
The way Clark hugs me with his whole body while I hold him in my arms…and then comes in for the sweetest kiss followed by a gentle pat on the back. (I melt every time)
The way Claire dresses up, runs around chasing bubbles and WANTS me to be there next to her when she rides her bike and listen to her sing.
These are truly the best days.
I sit here right now, on the one day I have 4 hours guaranteed to myself kid free. It always flies by and is filled with bills, phone calls, errants, etc. Meaningless yet important things and here I am just thinking to myself one day, this will be my everyday. (tears, tears, tears falling) I never knew how bittersweet it could be to see them little, yet know they are on the verge of becoming big.
It hurts so deep down. You just want to make every moment count MORE. But somehow no matter how hard you try, those same moments are turning into days and weeks and they are going entirely too fast.
I haven't blogged much. I wish I did because I love looking back on this chapter of life. It's just so busy with two now. I'm off to go get them…my 4 hours is up for this week. Time to make some memories….
