Excitement

Depending on how you look at it, being a stay-at-home mom with 3 kids is either full of or devoid of excitement. What kind of excitement do I want?

Watching the Olympics over the past 2 weeks has been exciting. It's something new, we can all watch.

This weekend we'll be celebrating Kenneth's 5th birthday, which is very exciting! We'll have his friends over for a party after we treat him to a visit to the barber shop (he likes getting his hair cut) and get home from gymnastics. I expect we'll all want an early night on Saturday!

All 3 of my kids seem to accomplish something remarkable daily. Morgan has a girlfriend and made the volleyball team. Kenneth can fold laundry and pour his own juice. Lillian can get herself a snack and is toilet trained. They are all brilliant, beautiful kids. It's exciting to be their mom!

On the other hand. It's not exciting to clean up cat poop, wash toilets, pick wet noodles up off the floor, etc.

It's exciting, in a bad way, to deal with a dying van, a broken dishwasher, low cash flow, missing bus pass, and so on.

Either way, excitement is present in my life. Whenever I long for it, I am flooded with more than I need. Perhaps whatever my dream becomes, I need not worry about whether it will involve excitement. I know that when life seems boring I just need to wait 5 minutes!
