I love being a Mom. Yeah at one point in my life I wanted to go t college & a be a physical therapist and being a Mom was no where on my "want to do list". Life changes in a second your future is never written in stone. The day found out I was going to be a Mommy I realized this. Some people balance motherhood & carrers but that is not what was cut out for me. Believe me I tried it. Not everyone can have the blessing to be a stay at home mom but I am lucky that I have that stability in my life that my Husband creates for his family.
Staying home allows be to pick the kids up from school when they are sick, snuggle at home and not have a care in the world when I am wrapped up in a Disney with them. These are the days I will never get back and the ones I hope they look back on I see that I had time for them.
Being a Mom is not always a Disney Movie though. You are the Mom, the fixer of all things broken, the finder of all things lost, and to go to for all crisis matter. For recent example turnining your sons security blanket pink is a major crisis!! You also have to make descisions EVERYDAY. Whats for dinner, what out fit will look best for the school pics, Did Adam wear the right shoes he needed for gym class, Did Robbie remember to take his typed English paper, Did I remeber to gel Justin's fuaxhawk before he left, did I get all Rob;s paper work sent in. Some are big, some are small. At the end of the day your family relies on you to make big & little decision that will effect thier day, thier week, maybe even their life.
Sometimes I make wrong decisions. I think we are all guilty of that. Little ones that don't matter right up to the BIG ... OMG's! I try, & that is all I hope anyone expects from me.
My friends know the struggles that I am going through and the decisions that me and Rob are going to have to be making as parents. We just want to do what is best for all involved and especially for whom is affected. I doubt myself sometimes but I think that is normal. We will get it ... I am keeping faith in that.
Well said my dear....I hope you never doubt what a wonderful mother you are. You have a wonderful family and it's part of you being the ring leader!!!
