Daughters are day brighteners and heart warmers.

I woke up the other day with a feeling like my life has become one big routine. It's the same thing every day. Cooking, cleaning, laundry, baths, etc. All of which seems to be a big waste of time. By the time I work my way from one half of the house to the other, the half I just cleaned is already messed up again. I can never seem to keep the laundry done. Every time I turn around someone is hungry and I am so sleep deprived that I can barely function sometimes. It can be so irritating. I looked around the house and thought of all the things I should fill my day with but I decided to take Kameran and Reagan to the park instead. I cooked pancakes then took a few minutes to do a little something with myself. I got each of them dressed and fixed Kameran's hair. Fed and changed Reagan. Packed the diaper bag and stroller then finally got the girls in the truck. By the time the process of actually getting out the door was over, I was already tired and ready to crawl back into bed. I stopped for a cup of coffee and we were on our way! We arrived at a park full of people. I am always paranoid in a large group that I will lose sight of my child so I had a talk with Kameran before I would let her go play about what to do if anyone tried to grab her. Then I made her repeat it back to me several times. Off to play she went! She was sliding and climbing and running around with the biggest smile on her face. Every time she would finish on a slide or get off of the play set she would run over to me to "check in." What a good girl I thought to myself. Watching her so happy and having so much fun gave me such a great feeling. Then I looked at Reagan. She was in her stroller watching all of the chaos going on around her and she just looked so content. I spent 2 hours at that park just watching my daughters. It felt like 30 minutes. It was a reminder to me that I have nothing to complain about. At the end of a long day I get to hug and kiss the 2 best things that have ever come into my life. I have been given the best gift one could ever receive. The gift of motherhood. There is no greater feeling than knowing that you are a part of something so wonderful and amazing. That was one of the best days I have had with my kids. I felt really calm and at peace. I felt thankful to have been so blessed and I realized how lucky I am to have 2 happy, healthy, BEAUTIFUL little girls to call MY children!
