Life is Crazy . . .

Life is crazy . . .

That's all there is to it,

I've just resigned myself to the fact that it is always going to be so . . .

When I had little kids at home, I thought that life was crazy,

but I was optimistic that someday it would not be so.

When I was a young mom, with four kids under 10

and a full time nursing student, life was crazy.

But someday I would finish school, and then life would settle down,

and we'd leave those crazy days behind . . . never happened . . .

When I had a houseful of teenage kids, life was crazy.

And I thought as they began moving out, going off to college, getting married

that someday it would not be so . . . still waiting . . .

And years later, working as an RN, nurturing a photography business,

Relief Society President, still a mom and wife I didn't think we could fit in one more thing . . .

Then these little faces appeared.

and it's off to the park, stroller walks, playdough, crayons everywhere,

diaper changes, naptimes, mac&cheese, peanut butter, spilled milk,

swingsets, trampolines, carseats, water-water-everywhere, bathtimes, bedtimes . . .

And life is crazy.

And my heart is full . . .
