Size Matters

Every day, there is a point at some time, when I look at my boys, who are now 15 months, and think to myself, 'Wow, they are getting so big!' They are walking (and running when they know they did something they should not have), babble talking, and playing really well now. They have all of the characteristics of 'Big Boys' now, including thick, awesome heads of hair.

Then, I look at our daughter, who is starting school this year! She is three, and she is turning into such a little lady.... ok, diva, a lot of the time. She is able to do so much on her own. She makes her own snacks, toilets herself, chooses and changes her clothes, and helps me out with her brothers, especially when she is upset.

I am cherishing these growing up times, busy as they are. They will only come once, and I look forward to the days where I get just a bit more 'me' time.... AKA time to clean the house, bake, take a shower, etc.. lol

On the flip side, there are moments each day, when I look at the kids and think how small and young they are still. Sitting and snuggling with my daughter to read a book and how well she still fits onto my lap. Seeing the boys stand next to a toy that is way too big for them, highlighting how small they still are... These moments make me almost giddy, as they remind me that I still have 'babies' in the house. They are not all that big yet.

Regardless, I am sure that no matter how big or small they are, they will always be my babies. :)

Time to Commit!

So I have been MIA lately.... just from here, not from life in general. Life has been crazy... and good.. and crazy... and busy.... and good! I have no complaints that are worth writing about right now. ;)

I've thought about writing many, MANY times and I've got a couple of seconds just now to sit and write.... (ok, actually stand in my kitchen and blog while AT 11PM I am making dinner for hubs and I)

I am at the point with the kids where I need to make some time for myself and start committing to ME! They are slowly becoming less dependent, which means that I need to pay attention to getting myself back in order! It's been a months... ok YEARS... since I've felt like ME! I need to get rid of the mommy-guilt and the 'to do' lists sometimes and just go for it! Take a shower! Take a nap! Reconnect with some neglected girlfriends of mine... even if it's just the rare phone call that I promise to stay awake to make. ;)

I'm involved in my local POMBA (Parents of Multiple Births Association). We just had our meeting tonight, which is probably why I have such a sudden burst of "I can take over the world!!"... It's funny how meeting with a group of people, who can relate to the craziness in our lives, can make us take a look at ourselves... I know that for myself meeting with these women inspires me just to be the best mom and ME that I can be!

Gah, sappy, but I love those women. :)
