Sometimes Motherhood feels a little like this:
While trying to maintain the cycle of an attempted routine, you are also dealing with the ups and downs of life. And most of the time, it’s fun!
Mother’s Day was sweet. After church we were driving home and admiring how awesome the weather was. Considering how wet and yucky it has been, having a sunny Mother’s Day was a real treat. And it called to us, “Go outside!” So, we did.
We made a stop in the Bi-Lo deli section and found all the ingredients for a picnic. Then we headed to Coolidge Park to find a spot of grass to enjoy our bounty.
After lunch there was plenty of playing and just having family fun.
Being at Coolidge Park meant being in the vicinity of Clumpies, where we were able to enjoy my required Mother’s Day ice cream.
The sweet thread through the entire day was how Tebow behaved like an angel. First off, I got to sleep in until 7:30! And in the afternoon, I had a two hour nap, because he had a two hour nap. He ate well, took great naps, and was generally happy.
All of yesterday was definitely an “up.”
Today, while we kept moving through the cycle of our lives (ha!) it was kind of a down because Tebow just wouldn’t nap. He was fine when he was awake, not even fussy. But his attitude toward naps was total disdain. This made getting things done kind of difficult, even though we just kept moving forward through his routine.
These are only recent examples of the ups and downs of being a mom. I know there are so many more to reflect on and so many more to watch out for… but in the end, I’m moving round and round and really having so much fun.
I hope other Mothers out there had a good Mother’s Day! I know I did!
