Being a Mom

As I sit here tonight and look at the sweet faces of the little angels that I tucked into bed, it occurs to me just how lucky I am to be a mom.  It is hard work with long hours and sometimes no recognition.  But that being said, I couldn't imagine my life without my kiddos in my life.  They are my greatest blessing and I love them more that anything. I found some quotes on motherhood that I wanted to put down so that I could remember them and look at them when having a particularly difficult day (and lets face it, we all have them)

"Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother."

I have worked a lot of the time that I have had kids.  I was lucky enough to be able to stay home and just be with my babies starting about a year ago.  I live for moments like these, when I am able to stay in my pajamas and play hair salon with my monsters.

Arent we stunning after our makeovers!!

My cute little stinks!


At times I kow that I complain sometimes because being a mom is truly the hardest job that you will ever love and I believe that is very true.  Yet I dont think that there is a better one.  That being said, sometimes I look at them and thing "Who raised these kids???"  But I suppose that is all part of the package.

Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day
With little time to stop and pray
For life's been anything but calm
Since You called on me to be a mom
Running errands, matching socks
Building dreams with building blocks
Cooking, cleaning, and finding shoes
And other stuff that children lose
Gitting lids on bottled bugs
Wiping tears and giving hugs
A stack of last week's mail to read
So where's the quiet time I need?
Yet when I steal a minute, Lord
Just at the sink or ironing board
To ask the blessings of Your grace
I seen then, in my small one's face
That you have blessed me
All the while
And I stop to kiss
That precious smile

Love em!!
