O my god I am overwhelmed with love
I am curled in a ball with the hugeness of it
Danced around the dining room to the music on her face
Sang away a tantrum to (forgive me) Ace of Base
I am so full of love I feel almost sick
I have turned away from them so I cannot see
One asleep and one is reading
I can't bear it
But o
my
god
I am glad we did this.

You just made me laugh and cry. It's so true, isn't it? I'm sometimes quite appalled by the dizzying adoration I feel for my three over the littlest things. Maybe you should bring out a range of t-shirts to spread the message- for all the people who ask "but don't you get bored just staying at home with the kids?" "don't you miss using your brain?" Oh, and the old chestnut, which I was reminded of when I read your post yesterday, "But what do you DO all day?"

Well, for AGES I have been meaning to ahve Cafepress make one saying "If I was a stay at home mother you wouldn't be reading this tshirt" (with "were" instead of "was" for people who didn't grow up thinking that's pretentious and illogical).
