Motherhood...

I love being a Mom.

I have spent the day cooking each meal, dishes of 3 meals & happy tummy's of each meal.

I have spent time with my kids at the pool. Daughter endured a bee sting. Not a good part of our day.

I am exhausted!

  I am now baking cookies for tomorrow's trip to the beach! 

I wouldn't have it any other way.

In listening to my Son describe his home life with his Dad, I have a new appreciation for my life.

 O we don't live in a great big house as they do., however here's what I learned today; there's more laughter in our home. We aren't too stressed & act silly together. We enjoy life. Every meal isn't drive through. I take time out to discuss my hopes & dreams & prayers for him, but not my demand on how his life should be.

I wouldn't trade that for a house. For newer cars. 

I wouldn't trade getting up in the middle of the night going to turn off the lights in the kitchen to see my Son looking for a snack & with one eye open prepare him food. 

This is Motherhood., this is my life & I wouldn't want it any other way. 

He said I'm not normal & I'm okay with that.

I stuggle allot with my anxieties & social issues, but I get to show up today. Show up for Motherhood. 

One day each of my children will be living their own lives & I will miss days like today, allot of times I do already because 1 is grown & 1 isn't here all the time., but 

today I get to cherish the moments of being their Mom.

I got I listen to his new girlfriends Mom tell me about their Christian values, beliefs & what she wants for her daughter, I consider that a Blessing & almost a Miracle as I don't get to influence my Son's beliefs as I would like, but look at the kind of girl he is choosing. So obviously my teachings, God is honoring. What a BLESSING!!

I got to hear how my Son is a gentleman & respectful to their Daughter. I got to hear how he has come out of his shy shell & has a nickname with her Mom. Spunky... That's my Son!

I am grateful for his Father that he has done well with our Son, I am also grateful I have impacted him more than I thought. 

You never know when a miracle is happening. I learned today, don't be so caught up in your mistakes to miss them!

Looking forward to a day with his new girlfriend tomorrow & I've already promised I won't embarrass him as I so freely got to do with my Oldest. 

Thank You God for Motherhood. I pray the journey has many more chapters.
