That brings me to the title of this entry: What do you wish your kids would remember?
(in no special order)
- I pray that both of our children know how we literally went to the moon & back for them, how we longed to be parents for so many years before we were blessed by their loving birthparents to become parents.
- That even though I officially stink at house keeping the dust bunnies really aren't that big, LOL...and we are clean people :).
- That I love it when I get to spend time with each of them alone...I love to learn about what makes them happy...what makes them tick, ok that would be for Shayla.
- I want them to know how hard we work to make their lives fun, challenging, & rewarding in many different ways.
- I pray that our children know how much we--Tim & I-- work to make our marriage work. We love each other, but marriages take work. I want them to know that I love when their Dad holds my hand, gives me a kiss, gives me time to take care of myself--exercise.
- That I laugh at silly things--some times I even snort & I can't remember jokes.
- That I enjoy cooking, even though I don't get to do it very often like I would like to do.
- I love to read a good book & take a long nap; I don't like coffee but like my hot tea (Starbuck's Earl Gray Latte skim please) or diet coke (from Sonic w/ extra ice would be great)
- I want them to know I love them more than life itself & sometimes that intense love hurts each of us.
- I long for both of our children to know how much Jesus loves them & wants to be their Savior, oh how He longs for them to be at His feet
- That each of our children are special in their own way. We were meant to be a family long before we were formed as a family.
p.s. I have lots to say share about the .dotMom conference I attended last week as well as an Autism conference. I am still processing all the information I learned.
