We have the greatest, most wonderful, most exhausting, most precious, most time consuming, most amazing, most draining, most fulfilling, most empowering, most mind boggling, most heart-bursting job out there!
Our hours are complicated, our eyes are puffy, our hearts are warm, our minds are confused most days, our arms are full of children, laundry, dishes and toys. As exhausted and sleepless and sometimes begging for a free day, we will never regret, resent, take back or wish that we never had our children.
We are Work At Home Mom's...whittling away at all hours, trying to mold the best little person we can so that some day, they too will be awake holding their precious children, the way you've held them, ever pressing forward through sleepless nights and even longer days, gazing into the eyes of the most beautiful little soul, wondering how you have created such beauty...
And as we sit, hair in a pony tail, draped in loose shirts and yoga pants, eyes dark with bags, we watch our children play their hardest, putting their best effort in to amusing us...waking each day and forgetting the hardships of the day before.
They are wonderful and oh so trying.
And in a flash, they are grown, gone from our arms, only to return at their own will. No longer will we be able to scoop them up and place them on our hip, tickle their sweet little faces with that unbelievably smooth skin.
They would think we were crazy if we came in to their room and rocked them to sleep.
And after all our sleepless nights in the past....oh what we will give to have them back again someday!
