Me. In my office.

When I was uploading some pictures off of my camera, I came across these pictures that I didn't realize were being taken of me! I must have been pretty preoccupied with where I was needing to be or who I was talking with?! I had my camera in the car from the previous day and it looks like Sophie decided to capture me doing, what I do best....

DRIVING

I call my car, my office.

It is where I feel that I spend most of my time lately. Our schedules are jam packed right now. I don't know if it is the time of year or what... but I feel like each of our kids are extra busy with activities right now. I know that I am no different than any other mom, it's just part of the deal. Being a taxi cab driver is what you sign up for when you have five kids. Because I am a very imperfect human, there are times that I find myself murmuring about the amount of time I spend in my car. For some reason when I came across this picture, I felt especially bad! I had to take a double take of it. I've never seen myself from this angle... in action! I didn't realize what my kids see every single day. I am typically always the one behind the camera, capturing everyone else. If I am ever on the other side of the camera, I am usually posing and instructing them on what to do and its usually nothing significant, that's for sure. One of my favorite things about photography, is capturing my kids doing the little things that are insignificant and non-eventful. They always seem to be the most meaningful, for me. This picture is one of those meaningful and insignificant moments that I want to remember.

Me. Everyday. The way I looked from my kids eyes. Driving.

I know it is nothing great and definitely nothing beautiful.... but, it is me, being a mom and serving my kids. Even if I murmur here and there, I love my role of being a mother and taxing my kids all over Gilbert. I would not want to be doing anything else at this time of my life and nothing can or will ever be as rewarding.

I love my job

And I can't wait for the day that Austin turns 16!
