i was in bed this morning, trying to force myself to get up. Kim was at the vanity, putting on her make up getting ready for work, and i rolled over onto my back to "listen" her get ready. She doesnt know i do this, but its very relaxing to listen to her do her thing. She does her hair, brushes her teeth, walks around getting ready, and to me, this is very peaceful. But this morning was different...
As i was listening to her get ready, i started thinking about a baby crying or a toddler jumping on the bed screaming for me to get up. To be honest, it FREAKED ME OUT...I think for the first time, i got a very waking and sobering taste of the immense responsibility that is just around the corner...but only for a passing moment.
Bc then i started thinking about getting up and making my boy breakfast. Or getting my little girl dressed listening to her ramble on about something she feels is "very important." Or even stumbling out of bed to go make a bottle and feed my hungry little baby. and then driving to work that morning thinking instantly about how long it would be until i could come home to see my family again.
And then, amidst the crying baby, screaming toddler, and rambling little girl in my head, i was at peace again.
Kim and I are about to begin our next adventure together, and I can say with certainty, we are ready.
