I have received so many kind comments, messages, and thoughts the past couple days and I am so grateful for those who take the time to say nice and uplifting things to me.
You are SO appreciated. Thank you.
It's amazing how a few kind words can have such a great impact on someone. I needed it. Seriously. Thank you all.
I was talking with my sister in law the other day about how everyone has a "face" or facade, you know, our outward "perfect ish" appearance that we want everyone to see and how even though we all have one (or more) of those, we're not perfect undereneath. No one is. Even those that seem perfect. Really. (I'm still trying to convince myself) ;)
We are all beautifully imperfect. We are all a mess sometimes.
It still amazes me, because sometimes I feel like I'm the only mess!
(I'm sure you've been there too!)
I see .every.single.one. of my flaws.
But other people don't.
That right there is pretty awesome!
I took Colton and Callan to their SIX MONTH(Can you believe that?) well child this month. Michael stayed home with daddy and I fed both babies before going so they were beautifully asleep in their carseats when we arrived. I hadn't showered but I put on a hat and had leftover make-up on that I touched up while in a hurry to leave. I checked us in after we arrived, sat in a chair next to my sleeping babies, filled out my paperwork and read on my phone.
When they called me back all of the nurse staff were telling me how easy I make having twins look and how put together I looked. Bless their hearts.
We then start to get the babies ready to be weighed and during this time I realize
I've forgotten:
enough diapers and wipes
Really? What mother with THREE children in diapers forgets enough. I had size 5 Michael diapers, but not any size 1 or 2's for the twins.
I, then, told the nursing staff
"Yeah, I'm not really put together. I didn't even bring enough diapers."
See a facade. And the smoke and mirrors dissolve.
I am a beautiful, imperfect mess.
Scatterbrained but with the best intentions to be the best mom to my children.
So again, thank you to everyone who has said/written kind things. We all need it sometimes. Keep it coming ;) And I'll pay it forward too!
