To sum it up, I am that mom...
*who rambles (see above!)
*that used be so crafty and creative when I worked in a preschool program but has to force myself to do crafts with my kiddo
*that wishes I could truly commit to being a runner (I finished 3 5K's and 1 5-mile run last year) but finds it hard to love running and even harder to find time (except super early in the am...and I am NOT a morning person)
*who wonders how another little one will fit into our life someday (which we better work on since Caroline already tells everyone that she's having a sister!)
*who constantly feels as though she's telling her kid to hurry up when I really need to learn how to slow down
*that tries to find a good balance between actually living in the moment and taking pictures so I never forget this special memories
*who plays the quiet game in the car sometimes since I just want to drive in silence after talking ALL day at work (I'm a speech language pathologist...)
*that spends way too much on clothes and things for Caroline because she's just so much fun to buy things for
*who struggles to remember who I used to be before I became a mom
*who is so happy that we chose to move Caroline to a preschool at our church this year. I love hearing her talk about God and Jesus and asking to pray
*that has a blog that I'm terrible at updating. Maybe I'll do better now that I have all this free time--just kidding!
*who has loved reading the posts from other moms on McCall's blog and who treasures her other mommy friends. It's great knowing you're not alone out there and that someone else's child has also peed in the middle of the store, thrown a massive tantrum in the grocery store (the kind where you avoid all eye contact and ignore your screaming kid), colored with pen on something other than paper (such as their foot--solid black), had to be taken out of restaurant for a spanking/talking to....should I go on?? :-)
