I was hired on the spot.
Wiping my supervisor's nose and feeding him applesauce is in my job description,
and I'm OK with that.
I get no holiday time, no days off.
I can't call in sick and stay in bed all day.
I never knew the true meaning of tired until I landed my current job.
More than six consecutive hours of sleep - deep, restful, peaceful sleep - is a very distant memory.
Vacations are no longer relaxing,
But twice as much fun.
I'm the CEO, CFO, and COO,
but my salary is that of a volunteer.
My bonuses are paid out in the form of kisses, cuddles,
and occasionally sleeping "through" the night.
I can't imagine a job more exciting, stressful, demanding or rewarding.
I'm a mom.
Happy Mother's Day weekend to all of the incredible mothers that I know and love...Here's to you and all that you do for your children!
I stumbled across your blog and now I keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Brenna is very lucky to have you as her mom. Life threw you a curveball and you have handled it with wonderful grace, strength, and thankfulness. You are such a wonderful example to your kids, and to everyone. Keep up the good work, and enjoy every moment God gives you with those little ones!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful...Thank you!

ReplyDeleteHi, I haven't read your blog in a few months but bumped into it again today and just wanted to say how well your beautiful daughter seems to be doing - she looks so cute in this picture! You guys are obviously working so, so hard for her, and it definitely looks to be paying off. Happy mothers day!
