The life of a wife & mom.

Honestly, being a wife AND a mom can have its challenging moments. It's not always easy having to be a wife who is "on" for her husband but also being a mom who is present for her child. 

There's nothing I love more in life than sharing my life and myself with my husband and my daughter. I LOVE being a wife & a mommy. I haven't found anything in this world that gives me more satisfaction. Parties? Not even on my mind. Dinners? Sure, as long as they're invited. Girlfriend dates? Yeah, sometimes. Work? 13 hours a day I have to be away from them! I just love my family and don't ever really find myself wanting to be away from them. 

But let me tell you, it can get exhausting having to keep up with everything. Husband needs his work clothes washed? Okay let me throw in a load of laundry. The bottles are ALL dirty again?! Okay, guess I have to spend a good 30 minutes washing them and the other dishes that seem to pile up sometimes. Stassi, how much can you pee? Time to change the diaper again. The dogs are out of water? Didn't they just have a full bowl? Oh and now they're hungry too? Oh honey, we're almost out of dog food. We need to go to the store to get some more. What else are we out of? What do we want for lunches and dinners? The trash needs to be taken out. Stassi, don't cry...here are some puffs...want me to put on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse? Stassi needs to be dressed...where are her socks? Why can't I find the matching sock to any pair we have? Looks like it's time for dinner...what should we cook? Maybe I will just order something...

These scenarios happen all the time and it does not stop there. 

I'm not complaining. I'm really not. Life is hectic. Especially with a baby. And one on the way. I get tired more quickly and my patience runs thin most of the time. I'm tired of having a belly that doesn't let me bend over without losing my breath and I'm tired of all the pains my body is experiencing every time I am trying to do something. My husband and I don't always see eye to eye, and our daughter sometimes has meltdowns for what I would consider, no reason. 

BUT with all that being said, I would not trade my life for anything. I literally LOVE being a wife to my husband and a mommy to my daughter. And being the host (I mean mom) to my daughter inside of me ;) They make my life so complete. They make me so happy. They make me smile and laugh. I feel safe and protected. And I am so very thankful for the life I have been given.
