I LOVE being a Mom!!!

I was worried I wouldn't.

Love being a Mom, that is.

I did a lot of babysitting as a kid, and didn't really like it.

So I was worried.
But you know what????

I love it.

The toys everywhere.

The dirty dishes everywhere.

Endless dirty laundry.

Sick kids...I had to go get Madi from school today cause she has a fever.

Brownie covered fingerprints on the cracked hard-boiled eggs in the fridge...my Cassi loves to snack!

Sleepless nights...Elsie had a rough one last night.

Little boys who seem to pull EVERYTHING out of your cupboards in 1.2 seconds...I will give you one guess who that little boy is!

Diaper change after diaper change.

Scratches, and pen marks, on your leather furniture.

Homework fights.

And you know what?

All that stuff is pretty darn great.

I am definitely not the best Mom in the world.

I have a long ways to go.

I still need to grow up a bit, I think.

But if I can remind myself everyday that I get to be the one to do their hair every day.

I get to be the one to read to them at night.

I get to have the hugs and kisses, then more hugs and kisses, then more hugs and kisses before the bus comes!

I get to paint with them.

I get to rock them and cuddle them to sleep.

I get to cherish these moments.

And that's what I need to do, cherish the moments, cherish my kids.

So if you don't mind...I am gonna go love my kids tonight.....
