sidelines.
when i first became a mom i hated the sidelines. whatever it was i wanted to be doing it. i wanted to be swimming, not holding a boring baby on the bank.
i'm a changed woman.
there's plenty of time for swimming in this life.
there will be so many softball games to play.
but the time for babies is so fleeting! mine are hardly babies at all.
yeah, we have moments of frustration, irritation, and boredom on the sidelines.
but we bounce back quickly.
i've come to see that we're not missing out. we're just playing our own small game. a really, really special one.
as a stay-at-home mom i sometimes feel like i'm in the sidelines of life watching everyone else play. then i remember that in a few short year my kids will be old enough to play life, too. and off we'll go.
then i will miss our peaceful, no-score, meandering moments...
