I will

As a mother and a wife I have come to the realization there are some things in life I will never do. Yet motherhood and wifehood awards me a chance to do so much. I have a new appreciation for the incredible things I can and hopefully will do someday.

I will never be an Olympian.

I will teach my boys to dream like one.

I will never be a top chef.

I will be able to always cook my husbands favorite meal to perfection.

I will never be a guest on Oprah discussing my new book.

I will be a guest on mommycast.com discussing the woes of potty training (video coming soon).

I will never be a notable scientist.

I will be the “most awesome” bug finder for three curious boys.

I will never give away a million dollars.

I will give away a million hugs to make the hurt stop and the sadness leave.

I will never be the hot chic on the back of a motorcycle.

I will be the mom running behind a child who is learning to ride a bike.

I will probably never be able to fix cars.

I will be able to rebuild a Lego fire engine.

I will not be the one to heal Alexander's deafness.

I will be the one who teaches him to listen, talk, love and laugh despite of it.

I will never be the one in a sports car.

I will be the one with a large enough car to tote around my baggage (kids) and yours too.

I will never fashionably walk down a runway as a top model.

I will walk quickly down every isle of the clothing store to find my lost child.

I will never win the noble peace prize.

I will write a sweet note and bake the kids favorite cookies to pack into their lunch boxes.

I will never wrestle a pig.

I will wrestle a naked wet baby not wanting to get out of the bathtub.

There are some choices I will never regret.

One is marrying my man, he is hot. The other is choosing motherhood.

What are some things you will do?
