Living in the moment
I caught a glimpse of what motherhood should be about tonight. I was putting my older daughter to bed, and for a couple minutes, a couple precious minutes, I was in the moment. We were laughing and singing and kissing, and I wasn't worrying about the things I had to do when I left her room, or hurrying so I wouldn't miss something on TV, or rushing because my younger baby was screaming in the other room.
I need to get back to those couple minutes. There's no reason for me to always be trying to get to the next moment, as though the current one isn't good enough.
