So since I have not posted in 5 yes FIVE months, you’d think I was crazy busy being a mom and wife. Sadly, that is not the case.
I literally just realized how much time is passing away, right in front of my eyes. Greyson is going to be three years old the end of October… that makes me sick to my stomach. It still feels like last week that we were in the hospital holding our brand-new-baby-boy!
Here is the thing. If I am going to be 100% honest, I am not being the best mom that I can be. I WANT to be better. I want to play trucks with him for 2 straight hours and only think about trucks and Greyson. But I don’t. See, about 10 months ago I got an amazing job. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I get to work from home, doing what I love. My hours are extremely flexible and I am only suppose to work 2 hours a day 5 days a week. But, I don’t. I work like 4+ hours a day. The second my tablet or phone buzzes with an email no matter what I am doing I jump up and get to work. Even if I am leaving trucks and Greyson on the floor to play alone. This is not okay with me! No more! When we decided for me to stay at home, it became my job. Greyson needs to always be my first priority.
We just (Monday) got back from a week long family vacation. It was amazing… I turned my devices off and completely focused on family. I am lucky enough to stay at home with Greyson, and you can be darn sure I am going to start living in the moments with him.
This is me declaring that I am going to be a better mom from here on out. We have a pool….I have taken him swimming once this year. 🙁 on vacation, we were in the lake every.single.day. I want more of that. I want more cuddles, smiles, laughter, and all the other wonderful things that come with laying on the floor playing trucks with your almost 3 year old son for 2 straight hours.
And because I love photos of my boy, here are some from our trip to Maryland:
