What I should be doing

Can anyone relate? It's late at night, I have a hundred things I should be doing but I'm just wiped out. I had a kid throwing up today, a baby that sensed that he might be playing second fiddle for the day so he wanted to be held all day, and so consequently, I got nothing done, seriously nothing.
Piles of laundry are waiting to be put away, the kitchen really needs to be tidied up, I have paperwork/bills I need to take care of, and I just want to crawl in bed and sleep until morning. Instead I'm snuggling a baby that doesn't want to go down; you know, the half sleep where they only want to sleep if they are in your arms. And so I blog, because I can do that much.

Someday I will sleep through the night, someday I'll sit through all of church and actually be able to tell you what they talked about, and someday I really will miss all this. I know that, you know that, even the old ladies at the grocery store know that. :) That doesn't make it any easier, just reminds me that it is all worth it.
Yeah, I know I write about this a lot. But I'm a mom, I have a baby and I have 15 year old, plus the in betweens. I look at my baby and I look at my 15 year old and I know that my baby will be that big too before I can blink. Sure I have lots of long hard days ahead of me, but I wouldn't trade them for anything. And I'd really like to pause these moments where my sleeping baby is laying on my chest, content as can be. And despite all the undone things around the house, I'm pretty darn content too.
