Mother's Day!

I love being a mom!!! I was talking to John on Sunday about how somedays I am going on doing my daily mom duties and I just have this overwhelming numbness feeling flood my body. It's like all of the sudden I stop and all of my blessings just hit me! I couldn't ask for anything more! I never ever ever thought when I was younger that I would have a husband that treats me like John does, lets me know that he loves through his words and actions. And because I am so blessed with him we are blessed with our two boys! I think daily they teach me more than I can ever imagine. I have always been the kind of person that wants it and I want it NOW!!! Well, having these two boys is teaching me that having anything now is just not possible. I want the whining to stop NOW, that's not happenig, I am learning to be patient and take a deep breath and hug instead of worry about it. I want to have a great body NOW, that's not happening either. I am doing my best to stay focused on being healthy and active and teaching my boys the same. And every time I look at my stretch marks and extra skin I just say to myself, if you didn't have this body then you wouldn't have these sweet boys. Nobody can explain to you how much you are going to love your kids before you have them! I knew they would be lots of work, but this much work? Wow!! Being a mom is such a strange job! It is sooooo hard but soooooo rewarding! I love my kids so much! I hope all you moms out there had a great mother's day and took a second to look at all of your blessings!!!
