helping with the newborn family

at sharilly's since sunday
i cannot remember the pace of this life
all the activity of kids
the 'not getting anything done'
other than the essential

yet i know i did
i cleaned
we did stuff
we shopped
they had new school shoes
and activities
and adventures

i just don't have it in my memory...

i don't remember our days

"We don't remember days we remember moments"

i so need to crack open those old journals
and see what it was like

SEE tho
even with that....
i journaled
all those crazy hectic days
i took time for that
and to read

i did have a life of my own
even
way back then
when it was not my own?!?

and what i do remember the most
and recall the clearest
is those were such pure and happy
unadulterated wonderfilled days

i was a mom
and i was content
very content
in each and every moment
and thing demanded of me

i felt clear and perfect purpose

i remember the contentment
