The Joys and Trials of a mom

There is nothing more rewarding than being a mom...but there is not a harder job....When I first started wanting my third...I thought it wouldn't change a thing...boy was I wrong...Colton is a great baby...luckily...but is just takes more time to get them ready...baths...feed...put to bed...and everything else...I can't imagine what it is going to be like when I actually have to have them ready by 8 and at preschool....HOLY COW...but I better get ready...that starts next week...

JOYS -

• having the kids say " I LOVE YOU MOM"


• laughter


• buying clothes ( I know that sounds stupid) but that is SO MUCH FUN


• making them smile


• saying prayers


• playing around with them


• getting involved with school and other activities


• seeing your parents go nuts over their grandkids


• family vacations


• reading and snuggling with the kiddos

TRIALS -

• NO SLEEP - (I am working on 4 hours today) Colton decided he wanted to be held and talk all last night


• potty training


• stress on you and all your relationships


• fighting between kids


• making your kids act correct


• laundry (I guess I should thinking about buying clothes)


• the weight that is gained and the body changes...

Don't get me wrong...there is nothing better than being a mom...but it is a hard job...Thank goodness for a husband that helps, a mother willing to do anything that I need, and friends that listen to me.... Thank you Amy...I really needed TODAY.....

I love kids...especially mine...

THANK YOU to my mom... and to ALL THE MOMS out there.

THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN A LOVIN' FAMILY....
