My { w o n d e r f u l } new reality

Today has been a weird morning.  David went back to work after having 3 weeks off.  Let's talk about that for a second... Who seriously gets to spend 3 SOLID weeks with their significant other?  It was exactly what we needed.  Laughing, having fun, and enjoying our new family.  I've always said David is the best husband ever.  (Sorry I'm not sorry if that annoys you.)  The past 3 weeks he proved it to me again and again every day.  Letting me sleep in.  Making me breakfast... and lunch.  Telling me to go to Target to take a break.  Washing the bottles after every feed.  Laundry and dishes.  AND (best of all) not playing xbox... AT ALL!!!!! Ha!  S E R I O U S L Y , the list goes on and on.  I was spoiled rotten.  He's the most selfless guy in the world.  While he was home we played around with their sleeping schedule a bit.  They now are in their cribs from 8pm - 8am!  Whether it's sleeping, cooing, or crying they stay put.  Some nights I only have to give pacifiers a couple times, other nights it's like every 20 mins for hours and hours.  But it's working and they're getting better.
Now to the weird part.  Everyone has gone back to work except for me!  It's just donning on me that for the first time in oh, forever, I don't have a full time job.  I don't have school.  I don't work 40+ hours a week in an office that plays the same music over and over and over.  I don't have timed lunch break.  I don't have to workout in the evenings.... Let's be honest, I am not a morning person.  I don't have to get ready if I don't want to.  You guys, I am finally doing my dream job.  I am a MOM.  Yes it's more that 40 hours a week.  Yes I now have 3 bosses who are quite demanding.  But it's what I've always dreamed of.  For years I just wanted to be a mom.  I wanted the chaos and demanding schedule.  I prayed for the smiles and 'coos'.  For some of you, that's probably really lame.  For me, I'm finally complete.  I'm living the life I've always wanted.  This is what I was born to do.  Being a mom is my calling in life... Now if only I could talk David into having more.  Haha.  Kidding... Maybe. :)
