I have to admit, like many of you, that being a mother isn't always easy. Like when you have the baby that cries constantly and never stops, or if they do stop it's only because they've found a permanant place on your hip. Or the toddler who just will NOT learn to go poop in the potty, and you are so sick of cleaning and smelling poop, or when you have a preschooler who is already challenging you, and you are struggling to teach them about obeying their parents and not to argue about it, or question your authority......and all of the above refer to my three kids in this moment.
I would never trade being a mom, sure it's hard work, work we don't get "paid" for, and work that never ends. I will be a mom, teaching my children for MANY years ahead...I have so far to go, and I pray that they will learn, and be trained in the ways of the Lord. I realize that someday my Princess won't always be so cranky and want to be held, and LW will go potty in the toilet and I won't have to carry extra clothes for him, and although LJ may continue to be independent and have his own opinions on things I already see him maturing more and more, and learning to be respectful to not only us but his siblings and others in his life.
Being a mom is a dirty job, but it's also the most blessing filled job of all, and I would never, ever trade that in for one minute....I am so thankful the Lord has blessed me so greatly!

I agree with you, 100%. It's worth all the tears. (Ours and theirs)
It was SO great to hear from you on my blog that I accidentally reopened and haven't had time to close. I had lost track of. Some blogs on a subscriber list that I lost my password for and yours was one of them. :o( I am glad I can now follow you! Your family has expanded and your boys are truly growing up! We now have four "littles" evenly split up in girls and boys. Time flies! Thanks sso much for dropping me a line! Feel free to e-mail me anytime. I'll be following your blog.
