It's the best of jobs. It's the most difficult of jobs. It can bring you the greatest joy. It can cause you the greatest pain. There is nothing as fulfilling and exhilarating. There's nothing so depleting and exhausting. No area of your life can make you feel more like a success when everything is going well. No area of your life can make you fell more like a failure when things go wrong.
PARENTING!
Stormie Omartian
Being a parent has to be the best gift God has given me. I love my kids so much and I love the joy they both bring me. I can't believe sometimes that we have 2 kids under 19 months old! Before Ethan was born I was so nervous on how I was going to handle two kids, how I was going to go grocery shopping with the two of them and let alone just get out of the house in one piece with everything I need. When I ventured out of the house after Ethan was born, I realized it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I do go to the grocery store with the 2 of them and I do OK. I manage to get out of the house in a reasonable amount of time (even though I sometimes do forget something in the house). Someone asked me the other day if I would do it again and have them this close and my answer is YES! Taelor and Ethan already have this wonderful relationship which I know will only grow stronger as the years go by, they entertain each other and they laugh at each other. I think being a parent and raising kids is a challenging and rewarding job no matter how far apart or close your kids are. I have learned to enjoy every moment that comes along with parenting, even the moments when you just want to pull your hair out! I have also learned that babies don't stay babies for too long (even though they will always be my babies), they grow up so fast. Even though life has been busy since I have been back at work, I still cherish every moment I get to spend with my hubby and kids! I will never take my children for granted, they are the most precious gift and they have made me the mom I am today! I wish and hope every woman gets to experience the wonderful joys of motherhood!
