What Matters Most

These babies are my world. Journaling tag is hidden behind the stitched photo. Journaling reads:
It was not too long ago that life was very simply all about 'ME'. I didn't care about what was for dinner. This truck girl wouldn't be caught dead in a sedan. I didn't miss a weekend two-steppin' around the dance floor, and the thought of missing the annual National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas was UNFATHOMABLE! I never drove below 60 miles per hour, I didn't eat my vegetables. I didn't worry about the house being spotless and I didn't even OWN a thermometer. I never knew the phone number for poison control, and never broke down when I watched the Saint Jude Marathon on T.V. I was comfy in a size 5, and didn't have a bed time. I drove a sportbike and didn't worry about crashing. I climbed into cages with abused lions and tigers, and never thought twice about the risk. I always knew my mother loved me, but never could have known how much; until there was you. The moment that I became a mother, every single aspect of what I believed life to be about changed. Now I worry about my children having a healthy and nutritious dinner. I drive a 4- door sedan with an incredible safety rating (but will NEVER have a minivan)! I have not seen a dance floor since I got pregnant with Ashli, and NFR is just a group of great memories I carry with me. I do the speed limit, and watch terribly closely for those 'other' guys. I not only eat my vegetables, but I try new foods and encourage the same in you. I work VERY hard to keep my home clean and germ-free for you. I don't have ONE thermometer, I have FOUR! I have the number to poison control memorized and on my fridge incase I forget, and we ALWAYS donate as much as we can to Saint Jude's. I will never again see a size 5 and I am OK with that. I go to bed early and value a good night's sleep. I sold my motorcycle when I was pregnant with Ashli and haven't been in a wild animal's cage in I don't KNOW how long. The mere thought of crashing or being mauled and leaving you without a mom was more than I could bear. That being said, I am happier now sitting at home day after day with you two loves of my life, than I EVER was living my life for 'ME'. The moment you were born, my life became completely and honestly yours. I am your pillow, your washcloth, your kleenex, your puke bucket, your teddy bear, your toy, your cook, your maid, your MOM. And I wouldn't have it any other way. My life before you was frivolous and meaningless. NOW I understand HOW much my own mother loved me, for there is nothing in this world that will ever matter more to me, than you.
I love you Ashli and Mason.
