Being a Mom is overated?
Wednesday, May 16, 2007
I saw this comic this morning in my mailbox. It sums up practically everything I feel about being a mother sometimes. We stay at home with our children every day. We don't get paid, we don't get promoted and we definately don't get the credit for what we do. But there are a lot of rewards that only we can have. I think being able to be with my children all day is an amazing thing. No one else cares for them but me. I get to have all the hugs and smiles I want for free. There is nothing like hearing your child say..."Mommy, I love you!" I think that the rewards outweigh the bad things. So today when you see your child smile...think I am the luckiest person alive. So today's question is:
What does your child do that makes you smile?
Have a good day and remember I am always here to talk to. Keep smiling!

When she hugs me spontaneously, she used to be the kind of baby who didn't like to be held much, and it broke my heart for a long time. (She had acid reflux problems and it was probably uncomfortable for her.) But now she's better from that and is learning that cuddling is fun. That always makes me smile! :-)
