Busy Mamas

My husband, TSO, and I have three boys. People always tell me that having three boys (four if you count TSO), means I get to be pampered like a queen. I don’t believe her Royal Highness has to avoid mines of Hot Wheels, wash 8 plus loads of laundry each week, or prepare three meals a day while keeping a full time job outside of the home.

I have worked in the travel industry for 17 years. TSO and I used to enjoy traveling whenever we had the chance. We would take off to see a concert in Las Vegas, ski the slopes of Colorado or spend a weekend at one of the many resorts in Hawaii. It was simple…just book the reservation and pack a bag. Three kids later travel is not so simple. A stroller, 3 car seats, a carry on bag that requires a small miracle to fit in the overhead compartment and I haven’t even started with the checked luggage yet! Needless to say we do not travel as much as we would like to.

Alright, so I don’t get pampered or get to travel as much…I wouldn’t trade any of it. I love being a mom! Alright, maybe I would trade the temper tantrums, the meltdowns, cleaning the toilet (can’t they just get it all in the potty), the temper tantrums, the meltdowns, picking up the endless toys… where was I going with this? That’s right, I love being a mom!

I never tire of wet kisses and bear hugs from TSO Jr (5 years), Matman (3 years), and Daredevil (1 year). We live in Hawaii and there is no better place to be a mom raising 3 active boys. We have sun year round so letting them loose outside to get out all that energy is not a problem. My boys use the same wardrobe all year…shorts, t-shirts and crocs. I can’t imagine adding to the chaos of getting out our front door with the addition of winter coats and shoes with socks!
