Easy To Forget......

As a mom it is natural to go through a roller coaster of emotions and moods.  You asked to do things right now by kids and your husband.  You need to go potty but first you need to feed the baby, get lunch ready for the kids, you need to make a phone call.....pretty soon your cranky and yelling at everyone and have no idea why.  That's when you look at the clock see it is 4:30 you still haven't gone potty and realized the only thing that you have  for lunch is the last 3 bites of sandwich your child let of their plate and the 4 carrot sticks and a quick drink of water.

You look around your house and think "so what did I get done today?"  You see piles of dirty clothes that you were going to wash, Overflowing garbage, Breakfast bowls still in the sink.........

Than comes bedtime and you remind yourself my kids are alive and giggling...you did something right today.

As I sit here after a day that started out strong and slowly went to a less productive day, rocking my 10 month old to sleep early because the only nap she got was this morning for about 1 hour... Listening to her breath I forget how blessed my life is, what a blessing my kids are to me, how much I love them.  I forget that all they want it mom time, snuggle time, to be loved and noticed...

Motherhood is not easy there are days I say to myself...if only I did not have kids, if only they were older.....if only........but than I am gently reminded that these are the God days.  When The baby giggles at her older sisters, the joy I feel from knowing my kids all love each other, the joy I feel when my older kids help out people without being asked....

It is easy to forget that I am one blessed mom and wife with a wonderful family....
