mommy life

two things happened to me this morning that reminded me, once again, that i am truly a mommy.

first was at breakfast this morning. i was eating some bacon (turkey bacon since i am watching my calories... anyway) those of you who know me, know that i am not very good sharing my food. (i feel like joey from friends... "joey doesn't share food!") especially my bacon. i love bacon. when i was growing up, for my birthday my mom would make me a pound of bacon... just for me (maybe not so healthy...) and i would eat it all! so scene set for this morning... i am eating my bacon (that i love). hana was done with breakfast and was playing in the den area. well she fell and got hurt. so crying, she came over to me for me to fix it. i gave her a kiss and then she did the unthinkable, she asked for some bacon. my bacon. it only took a second of thought... and i shared with her! so it is official i am a mom... i put her needs before my own love of bacon... mommy check

second i was trying to do some exercise. i have a workout dance video (you don't want to see it believe me, but i like it). i was trying to do it over kids and around toys. it was not quite the workout that i had envisioned. but, by the end, both girls were dancing with me and having a great time. it was a great workout for all of us :) so it just made me realize that things are so not like they used to be. i am now officially in mommy land... and that is ok.
