Do you ever look at others doing awesome things with their life..
Getting published..
writing books...
writing songs...
playing piano amazingly....
All grown up and still playing competitive sports..
homeschooling 4 kids...
Taking the fam to Hawaii....
Lookin amazing...
business taking off....
And think:
Wow....(slight eye roll and pout) ...Im not doing anything amazing with my life...??....
Do you?? have you??
Sometimes that thought tries to get into my head...but I dont let it.....
I compare..yes I do..and I yearn to be that super amazing looking mom who is super multi talented that everyone notices....... sometimes....but its in slight thoughts...I have hobbies I enjoy just like everyone else...but..
I am lucky to have a complete understanding of my goal and priorities in life......
And there are many who think being a mom isnt enough.....believe me I know..I see it on TV all the time...
But for me..........
it is....... my life....
I enjoy it even.....
Now no this isnt gonna be a long paragraph about how I NEVER get stressed out with my kids..or how I NEVER think I am lame...or how I NEVER yell at my kids because they are so super amazing...or how I am super confident in myself ...Nope..and if you keep up on my blog you know those are things I would NEVER say!!ha!
But this I do know..and will say..
Being a mom..and being there for your kids is the most important job a woman could ever have...nothing is more important than family....
And I can honestly say I love being a mom..I love that job..I love my kids more than anything....
and that is an honest statement....I just do....
My kids have given me the most joy I could ever feel.... and I have plenty of years on momness to go!!! like I dont know 80 years ???haha
and they make me so happy, and proud and they make me smile with their silly sayings..and humorous answers and comments....
I have amazing kids...
They give the best hugs and have the best smiles...
I love making them feel better when they are sick..cuddling them when they are hurt or sad..I love being the one they come to with their joys,pains and concerns....
I am a mom of 4 kids...raising them to be loving, kind, honest, faithful, ...to be their best.....to fulfill their dreams and to be an eternal family...
THATS what I am doing with my life....
and I think its pretty amazing...
