Almost every day, I love being a mom. Some days, I feel not so much love for it, and then I realize that the only thing not to like about it is that sometimes I want to be lazy and have my house stay clean for like 10 minutes. Or maybe that day I start to consider what it would be like to not have people whining and crying and screaming at me for a large portion of the day. On those days I have to dig deep and tell myself to suck it up and stop being a wuss and love that the little people feel so strongly about telling me how they feel, that they will scream in my face to make me understand.
And after that pep talk I realize, I love being a mom. I love my boys and their crazy and fun personalities. I love when they tell jokes, or tell me about their plans in vivid detail. I love when they randomly come by and hug me while I am working on some project or other. And I love that as they get older, that I can see in their eyes when they start to understand what makes sarcastic comments so funny. I really love when they pray and when they talk about the eternal blessings of being a family forever, and when they pass on these loving moments to each other, with out me having to remind them to "Be Nice to Your Brother."
They are such a fun bunch, and they know how to make their mom feel loved, and so does their Dad. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in parenting.
One of the great gifts that I got for Mother's day, from Caleb, was tickets to see Nickel Creek! We had so much fun at their show a few days after Mother's Day. Live music is the best, especially when it is the music of such talented artist. So fun.
