Sometimes it's not easy being a Mommy. Sometimes there's more dishes and laundry and toys to pick up than time, and you can't find the library book and the left glove and the right shoe...and school started five minutes ago. Sometimes you're up all night long with a toddler/school age kid who just wants some extra attention becuase they don't feel well, and you can be so tired that you forget where you are. Sometimes you (I) flip out over the smallest thing (i.e. the aforementioned left glove...) and then feel like the world's meanest person. Sometimes it's not easy.
Then there are these moments:
When my little Bella twirls in front of me, and says, "Mommy, do you like my dance?" and then smothers me with kisses...
When my little Andrew tells me that I am "the best Christmas present ever!" and "the beautiful Mommy he always dreamt of", and then I tell him he has a heart of gold and he says that I have a heart of pink :)
When my David asks his karate instructor if he can lead the class to bow out and then does it right, and looks right at me to see if I saw, and has the proudest, shiniest smile ever. And you just think, "He's so confident and I helped make him that way!"
When I don't feel great and lay on the sofa and my little angels rub my feet and hug them. "All better?" "Yes, indeed!"
When my little Bella sits on the sofa and says, "Mommy, do you want to 'nuggle me up?" "Yes, indeed!!"
These moments make it more than worth it!
I am so thankful for these beautiful children. I am so blessed to be their Mommy, and I love them so much! Thank you, Lord, for the moments like these that make all the hard work worth it! You are so good!!
