When Micah woke me up this morning at 5:30am because he couldn't swallow, I wasn't that patient. I kept thinking forward to the only day of the week that Chris and I both have to work. I kept thinking about what I needed to get accomplished today. Chris got up with Micah. He took care of him and I laid in bed trying to figure out how this was all going to work. He has a classroom full of students that are waiting for him.
As I sat thinking about this, I remembered the Mentor Moment that we had at MOPS this last week. Of all the things that I need to get done today, being there for Micah is by far the most important. So far, I've done some dishes, but I've also watched a few episodes of Phineas and Ferb, Kick Buttowski and Kickin' It, taken Micah to the doctor, snuggled on the couch, and the best, snuggled down for a nap which took all of six minutes for the boy to fall asleep.
It's the moments like these that I haven't gotten as a working mom. Even though I still am working, I am learning to find myself again...this time, finding myself as a mom to these three amazing kiddos.
