The Joys of Motherhood

Too many times I hear that phrase and think....

"Whoever coined that phrase could not have possibly been a mother."

Because, seriously, kids are a lot of work and oftentimes a huge frustration. They never listen, they talk back {not mine....but I've heard other kids do} :0), they complain, they grow out of their clothes too quickly, they break bones or get sick, and scare you half to death when you can't find them....

But then...there are other times, I look at my babies and wonder how I could possibly complain. They are wonderful, adorable, kind, sweet, and giving kids {at least sometimes anyway}. More importantly.....they LOVE their mama.

And I eat it up.

See? The joys of motherhood.....
