Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are… Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in my pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.
-Mary Jean Iron
Am I the only one that feels like their life is quite boring? Every day is the same. Every day is normal. Nothing spectacular or glamorous going on around here.
Today I read one of my favorite blogs called CJane Enjoy It. Its about the only one written by someone I don't know, but read regularly. The author is a mother of 1 who lives in Provo. She is an amazing writer and I love to read her posts. Today she wrote about how motherhood can sometimes resemble the idea of Groundhog Day (you know like the movie?)
It was one of my favorite posts. So if your a mom, and feel like your life never changes and all you do is wipe messy mouths, and feed hungry kids, and change messy diapers day after day, this is a post for you.
This quote makes me thankful for all my normal, not so interesting days.
Which is also why I haven't updated in 3 weeks.

I've definitely been missing you! With a cutie like Emmett how can you NOT have new pics to post!?! :) Hope you're well.
Hey Lisa! Thanks for the quote... I'm not playing the mom card, but I definitely understand what it's like to have the same day over and over again. It's a good reminder that things are okay normal! Thanks for sharing!

I'm just starting that journey as a stay at home mom, and am beginning to notice how each day is pretty much the same . . . so thank you for the reminder to treasure today with all its normality!
I've been missing you. That was a fun post, she is a good writter. So tell. What is a normal day for you? I want to hear. Its kinda fun every so often to record a 'normal' day just for posterity's sake!
