I Chose You

Let me be clear. I DID NOT write this following little ditty, so I want to give full credit where credit is due. The only problem is that I do not yet know how to do all of those "linky doo" things to connect you folks over to other blogs and such. (More to come about that later. I need HELP people. There is so much I want to do with this blog, yet the skills are SEVERELY lacking).

So, anyway, I found this from Shannon, in Canada's blog (picture being able to click on those words and you could fly right over to her site) who got it from someone's else's blog. You following me? Okay. I read this this morning and I loved it. This is so what I needed today. I kind of feel like we are just barely treading water over here. There is just a lot going on with school, Jesse's burns, babysitting, cleaning houses, sickness, and just life, you know? EVERYBODY is busy - that's life, and I really do love it. I know that it will slow down a bit soon, people will feel better, Jesse's burns will heal, we'll catch up on sleep somehow, and we'll get back on top of things. Right now, it's just a little crazy. So, that's why I love this little ditty. :0)

I CHOSE YOU
(Picture that title being underlined. I don't even know how to do that. I'm pathetic).

This is for every woman who ever chose a child over other options.
(Picture this phrase being italicized. See above previous sentence in parenthesis).

I could have had more time,
more house,
more room.
I chose you.

I could have had more money,
more things,
more dinners out...
I chose you.

More me,
More sleep,
more freedom;
I chose you.

Less mess,
less cooking,
less laundry;
I chose you.

Less school, (well, not yet)
less PBS,
less PBJ,
I chose you.

Because of you,
I have MORE.
More love,
more memories,
more smiles,
more delight,
more joy.

Where would I be without you?

AHH! Good stuff! Now, I'm off to give Kaden a little bit of "me" while "Fussy-Doo Sicky Pants" has a nap. :0)
