My life is filled with a whole lot of ordinary: school days, errands, chores, homework, school projects, home projects, chauffeuring kids...you get the picture. I sometimes feel like Bill Murray in the movie Groundhog's Day . The alarm goes off each morning and my chance to turn the ordinary into extraordinary begins. OK...that's only after I hit snooze three times. My alarm clock is set to 5:30, three snoozes gets me closer to that magical reset hour of Bill's 6:00 a.m. And yes, there are many mornings I feel like giving my alarm clock the same beating Bill gives his! Don't you miss those old flip clocks? That's why the weekends are those necessary times to make the little things, extra special. Weekend morning buffets. Park time with the kids. It was 75 and sunny and January 26! And birthdays...well those are always magical even for me!...
Somedays I feel like I've done it all. To look at me, you might say "now that's an ordinary mom". Dig a little deeper and you'll find I've led a pretty interesting life, done some pretty extraordinary things, especially once I became a mother of four wonderful, extremely different children! Unique personalities and needs, all wonderful, trying and glorious at the same time!
