I always knew I would be a wife...and a mother...I knew it like your body knows how to breathe...you don't even really think about it...it just happens...
every once in a while you run into some bumps in the road...life takes you on a detour that you didn't expect...or didn't really even want to drive down.
sometimes, life changes...
sometimes, the life you didn't think twice about having, becomes one you never dreamed would be...
I always wanted kids...2, maybe 3. (lately, i think i would be perfectly, crazily, swooningly ecstatic with 8!)
but...probably 3...just because I came from a home of 2 and it always felt, well, a little to little...
lately, i have been given an opportunity to understand what it means to really want kids...not just want them because it is how you just thought it always should be...the house, the husband, the job, the family...
but, to really really want a child...
& in that opportunity, you learn to appreciate the miracle you have already...the time that is given to you a seems a little bit more precious...
i dream of a house full of life...of laughter...of arguments...of tears...of complete chaos...
but right now...i am most definitely clapping my hands...;)
