Being a Mommy…

Some days are really hard…  Being a mommy is challenging on so many different levels.  Today I’m exhausted!

It’s only 10 am and already I have had 5 long hours of …

making breakfast;

packing lunches;

tripping over toys;

wiping the toilet seat;

waking every one up with a smile;

reading some edifying scriptures;

changing 4 (YES FOUR!!!) yucky, stinky diapers,

nudging every one out of the door and into the car;

praying for Noah (boy in Sky’s class who has trouble listening);

dropping Sky off at her classroom (boys in tow…);

getting CJ ready for Preschool;

praying for Jordan (a boy in CJ’s class who has trouble listening);

ANOTHER stinky diaper…

doing laundry – load number 2 (of 10… YES, I am a bit behind!!) …

And as I’m reflecting on my morning so far (sipping on my cup of hot tea!), I am reminded of how INCREDIBLY blessed I am.  Mommy’s can go non-stop for hours, days, weeks, without anyone noticing all we do (or so it feels) and then, out of the blue, the heavens open and we find that special gift…

The unsuspecting card or flower from the hubby;

a sweet hug and “I LOVE YOU” from your baby boy,

or a beautiful picture drawn especially for you by your little princess…

“SIGH”…  Yes, it IS all worth it…
