Blessed

As I laid down, after doing a million things today, beside my daughter while she was napping today, I began to tear up. Why? I realized how blessed I really am. I have five, beautiful, healthy children!! Yes, the laundry is never-ending, the cleaning never stops, and the fighting is hectic but this is my life and I love it. Sure the 15 loads of laundry a week, the 2 loads of the dishwasher a day, and tons of picking up of toys are so not so fun things about being a mom. But the laughter from your child after they tell you a silly story, or draw you an incredible picture, or even just a simple smile makes it ALL worth wild. There are so many people that ask me how I do it, I answer,” I just do it. I may not have the cleanest house on the block or ever be on time(LOL) but I do things the best way I can !” Sure our house is never quiet or chaos free ,but I am thinking now that would be boring! At our house we are never bored! I grew up as an only child and was lonely a lot because my mom worked a lot. Don’t get me wrong we never planned on having 5 kids (we got twins )but we did, so we have learn to role with the punches. And I wouldn’t change it for the world. Sure there are things I would love to change, but my kids are not one of them. My life takes a lot work, a lot of lists, and lots of planning, but I love it and wouldn’t change it for the world!! J And I challenge whoever reads this to take a look at your own life and see how blesses you are!!
