MOTHER'S DAY

I've read a lot of poems, cards, and even tributes to wives and mothers this year... I even got my own spotlight on Jeff's blog which was sweet. But this year, the thing I've thought about most is how much I LOVE being a mom. Every year it seems like I feel more and more grateful for this amazing opportunity to interact with and help guide these two little (well, not really so little anymore) people. I love homeschooling the kids and how it allows me so much time with them. I love doing projects together, I love reading books together, I love our talks and discussions. Obviously motherhood is a full-time job, without breaks, days off, and all the rest, but I wouldn't change my job for anything. Every day is an adventure that I look forward to. I decided in the early days of my journey into motherhood, that if I could just be successful as a mom, I'd feel like I'd have lived a life worthwhile. It's all trial and error, and learning from our mistakes, but hopefully I'll get better as I go. I do know that I will continue to give it my all! I also wanted to gives thanks to all of the other moms out there giving it their all. So many of you have been an inspiration to me and have given me examples of how I can improve my skills, probably without even knowing it. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
