This past month for me has been lots of in and out of eye doctor appointments. I finally got a second opinion on my eye, only to find out that the first doctor wasn't to far off on what he was doing he was just taking a long time to get done what needed too. And that was that steroid shot in my eye, that he spoke of like 2 1/2 weeks ago. Well, I finally got it, on Friday. I missed a fun day with friends at Waimea Beach to get a needle in my eye ball. I am supposed to go back in two weeks and things should be getting better and I get to wean myself off of these eye drops, YAY! I am glad I went to this second doctor because he explained EVERYTHING to me so that I didn't have to worry whether or not I was going to go blind or had swelling in the brain, or what ever scary thing I heard or thought of. I am going to live and I will have two good eyes:)
So why the Title, Enjoy the moments, you know I am not talking about the moment of when the needle was going into my eyeball because that was really freaky. Don't worry they numbed it, I couldn't feel a thing. What I am speaking of is my children. I am having such a hard time lately, Krew is not sleeping as much and is crankier, and too many times both of them are screaming at me for attention at the same time. I was thinking today about mothers and how as soon as you have your first child that is the job you have for the rest of your life. You may watch your husband go through a few different jobs while you are married but we don't have that option, we just persevere and are required to love what we do and be happy:) End of story. Well, since this is the job I chose, all the good and all the bad, I have decided I really do need to enjoy those moments...
Last night after trying to put the kids to bed and having them both screaming at the top of their lungs, I decided instead of running away, to get both of them out of bed and just hold them. I am so glad that I did. It ended up being on of those moments that I will have etched in my mind forever. I wanted so badly to get the camera, but knew if I did they would stop and it would not be the same, (my kids have a way of doing that), so instead, I just sat there and watched. I watched Kali acting silly and making Krew laugh, he laughed so hard, which inturn made Kali laugh really hard, and they both just entertained each other and could not stop laughing.
It happened again today while Krew was hanging out in his swing Kali ran up to him and he just started laughing, I have never seen him laugh so hard, I just love it! These are the moments I enjoy as a mother, these are the moments that make me grateful for this eternal calling:)

Thanks for that Shanae!
I too have been having a hard time with my kids lately. in the last couple days I've really been trying to get down and PLAY with my kids. Crawl around and chase Tyken, soon enough Brylie joins in, we make up little stories and games and songs.
it's made for some good times that i know i'll never forget!!
That's so cute and awesome that they make each other laugh! That's awesome. Thanks for sharing so I too will remember that when I come home from work, that I should really enjoy the moments I have while my baby is still young!
oh sweet! :)
seriously...you have the same eye thing as my sister. It's that weird eye thing where you can lose your eye sight. She just had the same thing with the steroid shots and everything! We were all totally freaked out thinking she was going to go blind, but she is doing much better and can see clearly!
