I struggled this week with being grateful. My kids wanted to fight more with each other, say mean things, throw temper tantrums etc. and I don't feel like I handled it the way I should have. I lost my temper a lot this week and the occasional thoughts of WHAT WAS I THINKING HAVING ALL THESE KIDS! raced through my mind. But, last night my baby had a fever and woke up crying around 4 am. I wasn't too thrilled but I sat down with him in the rocking chair and just held him and rocked him and I felt absolute peace. It was just one of those little moments when I realized how much I love being a mom and the awesome responsibility I have to do it right. Of course, I am going to make plenty of mistakes but I hope I learn from them (and that my kids won't remember them! ) I played card games with my boys tonight and thought ... this is exactly where I want to be. Playing with the kids and watching them grow and being there when they need me.
Just a thought ...
