Living Out My Worst Subject

As I look at my life, I have come to realize that I have mastered the one subject that I loved the least, mathematics.

Here is the equation:

One mommy
Plus two toddlers
Equals mommy to the second power!

I have learned to be doctor, lawyer, judge, nurse, teacher, playmate, and comforter all in the course of one day.

I have learned to survive on less sleep and more love. This equals sacrifice.

I have learned to be slow to anger, quick to correct improper behavior, and more forgiving. This equals love.

I have learned to give kisses and hugs more frequently, say I love you at every given opportunity, and to smile even when I want to cry. This equals nurturing.

I have learned to sing the words to all of the Channel 11 shows, watch the Wiggles and actually enjoy it, and sing and act out all of the children nursery rhymes. That, equals recapturing my youth.

It is amazing how my worst subject has become what I am now an expert at.

As my children grow older, I am sure that my equations will grow larger and larger.

When I put it in perspective, I may have become a mathematician after all!
