Being a Mom

My friend, Emily, has recently run a series on Moms and I am honored that she asked me to participate. Being in front of the camera is an awkward place for me, so I was obviously uncomfortable having my picture made.  I never know how to smile correctly…I always look as if I am sniffing a rotten egg!



Bad picture aside, I feel very unworthy to be a part of the wonderful group of ladies that were chosen for this project.  Being a mother is the hardest, most challenging job I have ever had.  Most days I feel as if I fail miserably.  I yell too much, my house is usually a wreck and most mornings I'm digging uniforms out of the dirty laundry!

But some days….some days….I get it right.  I wake up a few minutes early, make breakfast, actually find clean clothes and make it out of the door for school without yelling.  But most importantly, I never, ever, forget to tell my children I love them.  I am so blessed to be a mother.  It is my greatest accomplishment.  ds

  3. I love your last two paragraphs. And isn't it sad that we (myself included) judge whether or not we're a "good mother" based on those fairly small things???

  4. you've got the Mom part down pat - loving those kids and telling them, plus teaching them about Jesus - the other junk - dirty uniforms is just stuff. They grow up way to fast - mine are now 34 & 42 and it seems just like yesterday they were little.
