Some crazy curveballs that have left their mark on me:
- Things that seem constant can sometimes be fleeting.
- Sometimes the things that you might assume are fleeting, remain constant. Good and bad.
- Hair texture changes after having kids. Period.
- Making it a point to smile, snuggle and peck my husband when he comes home from work - no matter how tired, cranky, busy, or pissy I am - is super important and makes a difference in how the rest of our night goes and sets the stage for how the rest of our lives are going to go.
- Friends are like wine for several reasons. They get better over time. They are essential for the best and the worst of times, and are fun for just a random afternoon as well. If you don't treat them with respect, they can rock your world. If you know how to take care of them, however, they can enhance your life and make you feel dizzy with pleasure.
- Whatever doesn't kill you, actually does make you stronger.
- Two little boys can make you so happy you feel like you might explode, so mad you feel like you want them to explode, so tired you are counting the minutes until bedtime, so fortunate that you are literally begging for the years to slow down, so frustrated you feel out of options, and so blessed you wonder how you deserve to answer to "Mom" - all within the span of about a half hour.
