Crayons and Legos

I get stressed out because I sometimes feel like if I didn't do something magnificent and amazingly adventurous with my day, then it was somehow a failure? I know it's not realistic to think that I need to go to Nantucket and polish the Queens silver, in order to feel like my day was glorious and not wasted. It should go without saying, that raising my kiddos is the most important, amazing job there is! And if that means that the most adventurous thing that happened today was potty training, and painting my doorways, that's OK. Because it means I'm doing my job as a homemaker and SAHM. I'm not likely to ever meet the Queen. But almost 4 years ago I met my first baby, and 2 years later met my second baby. And getting to wake up each and every morning to their joy filled blue eyes puts REAL meaning into my life. It would be a neat thing to be able to say that I met the Queen...but the truth is...I can live without that. My precious Baby boys? Not so much! I would be lost without them. I look forward to my hectic, crazy, what-the-heck-just-happened, days. Because what I am doing may not look pretty...but it's meaningful. It's what God, created me for. He chose to bless me with these children, and I am so lucky to call myself their Momma. I am only so privileged to get to care for them. Being a Mom isn't so much a job, as it is a blessing from God. Bring on the boogers, dirty dyters, potty accidents, torn book pages, and spilled cereal...I got this.
