this was on my facebook feed this morning.
i read it, thought about it, and smiled.
you know,
other than the sacrifices
of
peeing alone
and
energy
have never really sacrificed myself
for my katherine,
but i have made every attempt
to be a good mom.
i know the blessing of my girl!
~@~
~ i got my girlish figure back
after she was born...
and
kept it until i decided
to eat, pray, love,
and enjoy life.
~ she slept in her own bed (always)
and
through the night
from the time she was 2 weeks old
to this very day.
~ she was well-behaved
and
an addition to
(not a distraction from)
my social life.
~ john will be the first to say
we spent a fortune on her...
but
we never did without.
~ i never missed a hot meal.
~ making memories
(not losing memory)
is an on-going theme
of our relationship.
and
last.but.not.least.
~ i never had a whole lot
of sanity
to sacrifice
in the first place!
~@~
so, on this day,
instead of being celebrated,
i chose to celebrate
my blessing...
i love you,
katherine elizabeth berrong!
