Enjoying These Moments

I read  the above article today that my friend (Stephanie Ann Coleman) posted. It was a great article. It basically stated that so many times when new moms are out and about they are often told to "enjoy every moment" and "they don't stay that little forever." While these statements are very true, it is also not realistic. When you have small children not every moment is enjoyable or even manageable for that matter!
     I totally agree with the article! Sometimes as a parent it isn't easy (believe it or not) and you are tired, ill, and just worn slap out! There are days when you are glad bedtime is finally here. There are meals where you want to pull hair out. Then you have the moments that you sit there and just hold them close while they are sleeping, laugh as they discover a new trick, or listen as they talk about nothing very important. THOSE are the moments that make all others just fade away. THOSE are the moments that you "enjoy and cherish forever!" It doesn't matter what struggles I may face from day to day raising a child, at the end of the day there NOTHING better than being called Mommy! To me that is one of the best descriptors I could ever have! I strongly suggest you read the article above, it is wonderful!
