I'm connected, are U?

i love having people over at my house. it makes me so happy. i love it when people just drop by for a visit and stay a while. last night i was thinking would i do this to someone else, just drop in. i thought "Yes, definitely!" and then thought about the entourage i take with me everywhere i go and on second thought "Maybe not." this led me to thinking that i feel like the verizon wireless commercials, there i am standing at my friends door ready to come in and hang out and right behind me is my entourage of 4 children,purses, diaper bags, stroller, car seat, blankets, and snacks. maybe this doesn't sound like a lot, but when i think about it or am standing in that very spot it is overwhelming. i am glad to be a mom, i am just still learning how to handle all the joy of being so well connected. i think part of the reason we think "Maybe not." is that we may not feel invited or that we would be interrupting something. so here is my invitation to friends and family, if you are well connected or not, feel free to Drop By and stay a while.
