Minutes

[sweetdreams529]

It is midnight and for the first time today I have a few minutes to myself. I awoke this morning to my baby girl bright eyed and ready to nurse. Still sleepy from lack of sleep we nurse and settle back to sleep just in time for my four year old son to wake up. If he sees sunshine I'm done for there's no going back to sleep. I turned cartoons on and start my day. These days are full of minutes, we nurse for 20 minutes on this side 20 minutes on the other, now I have a few minutes to gather laundry, make dinner and then a few minutes to rock the baby. It all seems to go by in such a blur of minutes, just trying to make it to the next minute. All my babies are tuck safe and sound in there beds for the night and even though that's a feat all in it's self, I find myself thinking how did I get here, how can one day drag on and go by so fast? I want to evaluate my life, to enjoy these precious minutes that are happening so fast. I can't even find time to breathe, so tonight while my head rest on my pillow for those very few minutes I will thank God, for my children, my husband, and most of all for my minutes.
