2014 Synopsis.

First things first, wishing everyone who reads this a Happy New Year!! Hoping you have a year full of fulfilled dreams and unexpected pleasant surprises. Lots of prosperity and laughable moments.

Now onto me. Last year was, chaotic to say the least. I had a little one to add onto my brood and with two little ones life sure is full of twice the turmoil and joy. Yup! I’m happy and I’m complaining. When has having everything ever stopped anyone from wanting to take a day off from all the chaos. The chaos that is a part of raising children in this day and age with no help. I know, I know. I used chaos twice. That’s how chaotic everything has been. See, what I did there ?!

I always seem to be playing catch up. Catching up to giving time to my son, catching up to doing chores, catching up to making appointments and time with friends and even catching up with taking time with hubby. Actually getting time with hubby is more like stealing diamonds from a super complicated safe. Or maybe that describes trying to get any sleep. Well, both are damn near impossible !! Time for myself, is a dream I deign to dream not when I sleep of course, but when my hubby, God bless him can make time between his ever demanding job and chores. And still I know in those zombie like frustrating moments, that every single exhausted effort being put in is a moment to be thankful for.

Every time my son is kind, gentle, loving, understanding I get a high. When someone comments on what a good boy he is it’s like the world becomes technicolor. Every “mama” and unexpected words of love are akin to a miracle. The little one has just perfected the art of smiling and cooing and that in itself is just mind blowing!

In the midst of all the catching up, running around, exhausted, harried nights I know there is much, much love being given and reciprocated. This life we live is nothing but a bunch of memories of endless effort and love going around in circles.

As for what I wish for the year ahead. Well, world peace would be nice. That’s something that has me really worried. But that’s for another post. Other than that, just a few consistent signs that the kids are being raised right, to get a little caught up with life and maybe, just maybe a good full night’s sleep!

Very honestly, this post is more just to get the cob webs out of the dusty mind and keyboard of mine. Here’s a prayer for you and a heart felt thank you for your precious time. Cheers !!
