Record breaking-3rd-Post in a Day...

So today I feel like I'm a different mom. I have a different perspective. I know why. After seeing those videos of Judson and thinking about his family --especially from a mother's perspective, I decided that I wanted to be a better mom. I will always screw up, lose my cool, get impatient, and say the wrong thing at one time or another. But there are certain things I want to do more with my boys. The reality of such a heartbreaking situation makes you face your own life and think about what you want to do different. Many times in life this happens to us...I know this is one short time. But I want to be more patient, play with the boys with things they love (like playdoh), play imaginary games with them (which they also love) and pay more specific attention to them. Often I am distracted during the day by how I might be feeling, or emails, or cleaning. I've had a reminder that my days are for me to be mommy to 2 amazing boys because these days will come and go quickly before I know it and I will yearn for this time again. I want to have few regrets.
