This mothers day didn't go exactly how I planned. Sometimes life is to busy to make good plans. Although I enjoyed the messages given a church. One particularly stuck out to me. It was talk about the generations of a few women in a family. How they experienced hardships in there life some very difficult things but we're dedicated to there children/spouses/religion. The talk went on to stress that we should be the best moms we know how with our talents and not compare our selves to others. Today I was thinking about how blessed I am to be a stay at home mom. I've been to my kids school five times this week, and that's not including regular dropping and picking up. I am
able to take them to doctor visits, field day, and lunches. My talents aren't as physical or musical but most of the time I have unlimited patience. I love teaching my children and talking them through things. In my mind teaching opportunities are endless. Our children are essentially blank pages needing instruction, guidance, love, understanding, structure, and patience. I truly enjoy being a mother it's the most time consuming heart wrenching thing I've ever done. I can honest say I love each one of my babies evenly. They bring me so much joy. I also think about my own mother and my childhood and how our relationship has grown. My mom often lends an ear to issues, triumphs, and normal everyday things. I appreciate her advice and expansive knowledge. She is my favorite shopping partner whither it's clothes or decor. It's brilliant how her mind works and I am constantly stunned by her interior decorating choices and vision. Nobody can make yard glow like my mom well maybe her sister my aunt. Those ladies have a green thumbs. I love my mom very much and I am most thankful for the gift she gave me through my sister. I can't leave out my mother in law, she has never turned down a babysitting job for us, and is so quick to help our family! She loves her son and grand babies so much and goes above and beyond all the time! I also have to mention how much I love my California mommy Steffer, my aunt. She is always there for me and a quick phone call, email, or text message away. She is so involved in my life and my kids lives. I am thankful I've had so many female motherly figures in my life.
