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....

I love your new backgroud too. I DITTO each one of your trials. It is the hardest job in the world to be a good mom, but the one of the most rewarding. I guess that is a ditto to Amanda's comment. The kids are too cute, and you look great. Don't worry the weight will come off...Ronnie and I are starting the Fall Slim Down as well. Biggest loser starts the 16th. I wish we could do a biggest loser club on line some how. I need all the motivation I can get!
