my beautiful mess

Am I the only mom out there who feels like i rarely (never) have order in my life. I think most moms crave order or lets be honest control... It may partially be a woman thing but i know it was maginified for me when I became a mom because my day is filled with blocks, books, raisins all over my floor and gallons of milk most of which is spilling somewhere in my home. and sometimes all i want is order. The idea of having my entire house organized and clean makes me feel in control when really its all chaos... But so many moments throughout my day i sit and watch my these moments like today when my beautiful blonde daughter had her Doc McStuffins and had her princess laying on the checkup table getting a check all with singing and imagination and innocence and i think to myself..... there is nowhere else i would rather be, then in this moment watching this precious girl in her own little world. The moments with young children are hard. all who have gone through it no it to be true.... There is lots of crying, whining, smelly, messy, frusteration exhausted moments. But then those "those" moments... like the one today at the beach where my sweet, tired Carli laid her head on my chest as I held her and she just was so cozy in my arms as i watched Summer playing in the water with the beautiful sunshine shining and i remember, my life is good, great actually. exactly what i always wished it would be.
