Tonight we went to the Lakeview Carnival. It was our first time attending the event. Kudos to the school staff, students and all the volunteers that put alot of work and time into it. My girls had a blast. Kaydee Mae had some tears when the fun was over and it was time to go home.
Tonight made me realize all the things parents do for their kids. We put our needs and wants aside for our children. My idea of Friday night was putting on my pjs, having a mommy drink and just hanging out. I knew my kids would have a good time at the Carnival so that is what I planned. How many times have you let them pick the restaurant, movie, or game to make them happy? We all do it whether it's what we want or not.
I remember growing up and shopping and my mom would never buy anything for herself. I never understood why she wouldn't...until I became a mom. I now go shopping but never purchase a thing for myself.
I love seeing my kids happy. I love it even more when they appreciate it and actually say thank you without being told.
I can say without a doubt I live for my kids. I am a mom first. I am 100% happy and content with that.
