There are days I want to pull my hair out. I'm not joking here!!! Sometimes, this job of Motherhood can be exausting! Day and night, I am in charge of these little beings. The teething one year old, who can't seem to break that molar. Or, the defiant three year old who is testing her boundaries. I would like to say that I am Supermom.....but I'm only human! There are days that they get the best of me.
The good news is, there are by far more rewards for taking on this role. When Mattea climbs up on my lap, puts her arms around me tight, and tells me how much she loves me. Cecelia, with her little pigeon toed walk, is at my feet looking up at me with her big smile! When I hear them both playing in the playroom TOGETHER! Mattea, trying very hard to be patient with her little sister, knowing she doesn't quite understand it all yet.
These are the days I cling to. The days I look back on when we are having an "off" day. Reminding me that it's not always crying and dirty butts! It's unconditonal love FOR them and FROM them.
I can't wait to see them grow up together. To see them be best friends (and at times.....bicker like enemies! I have a sister, I know!) I want to see how they look out for eachother, laugh together, and drive Mommy crazy together. Of course I'm not pushing for them to grow up too fast. I learn more every day that we need to cherish their youthfullness.
I thank God every day for this challenging job called Motherhood. I really wouldn't have it any other way! He has blessed our family so incredibly. I know that because of Him and through Him, we are whole. I thank Him for letting me watch faith grow in a tiny little soul, just learning of His love.
These girls are my happiness, sadness, joy, and comfort. I love them with all my heart. I don't know who I would be without them.
