Summer memories. #sun #twins #fun

       Summer vacation has been great. At home with the twins, at times will take them out to the pool, beach, park, visit my parents or a quick run to the store or doctors appointments. The best thing is being home with them ,taking them outside to run around. Every morning after breakfast while our house is a mess, we go and water the plants, yes they have become gardeners. They water the small vegetable plants and our flower plants. They have grown up to be busy individuals, there is never a dull moment with them. Always exploring the outdoors, sometimes they listen and sometimes they don't. Always putting things where they don't belong. I guess being a child is about discovering and having fun, being creative and open. Being a mother or a parent is learning how to have more  patience then before, learning how to love more, protect them, care for them and just learn how to let go of things that really don't matter because your children are your number one priority. Yes, these summer memories are amazing and thinking about returning back to work gives me a bit of anxiety. I love staying home with them even though most of the time I feel it's the toughest job and responsibility I have encountered. Being a stay at home mom or parent is tougher than going to work at certain times depending on the situation. My situation is a lack of sleep, when my kids don't sleep, we dont sleep and my energy is low, so staying at home gives me the opportunity to be with my loved ones and while they nap, I TRY to sneak in an hour nap to gain some energy. Of course, knowing that my house is a mess, loads of laundry needs to get done, paperwork, paying some bills, making a few necessary calls, outdoor maintance, and trying to keep myself looking sane is still on my head while I try to take that nap. But after a few minutes of thinking of all the things that needs to get done, I give in and ask myself whats more important? My rest and health or the other things that needs to get done? Yes, all of us that are parents have felt like this once in a while or all the time but I do have to express that they are my strength, my desire, my love to do things more passionately because of them I have become who I am today and who my husband is as well. Parents to two loving little individuals always in need of care, shelter, love, hugs, food, again love and more love. At the end of the day while we put them to bed and my husband and I have a moment to ourselves, we thank God for the blessings.
