54 Days of Bed Rest

Today, day 54 of bed rest, I miss being a mom.  I miss running over and scooping my children up when they're sad and talking to them while hugging them on my lap.  If they are sad now, I can only call for them and hope they'll come over to me.  Sometimes they do...

I'll be glad to one day be the mom I want to be again.  To feel like I'm doing all I can to teach and love them.  To forget myself and go to work.  I'm not sure I could ever take it for granted again.  I am eager to have my work back.  Because it is mine, and because it is the greatest work I will ever know.
