My kids!

My home is filled with toys, fingerprints on everything and is never quiet. My hair is usually a mess, and I am always tired but there is always love and laughter here. In 20 years my kids won't remember the house or my hair but they will remember the time we spent together and the love they felt.... Your child only gets one childhood, make it a good one.

This was posted all over facebook this morning and I think it is so filled with the truth! I know not everyday do I get the laundry done or the house cleaned up. Not everyday is my sink empty of dishes or my bathroom clean. Some days I even miss getting a shower and don't realize it until the end of the day. But one thing is a guarantee for everyday......I sit down and play with my children! I hear their laughter everyday! I get big, sloppy, wet kisses everyday! I get sticky, messy hugs everyday! And I give out more hugs and kisses than I ever could have imagined everyday! And I wouldn't change any of it for anything! I'm so blessed to be home with my kids all day and although I wish I could be a stay at home mom, I know that by giving up my sleep a few nights a week I get the best gift in the world......watching my babies grow up and being with them while they do it. I gave up my dreams of owning a big house, having fancy clothes, being able to wear makeup everyday, going on fancy vacations, and even being able to get my haircut professionally but it is worth it all just for all the hugs, kisses, and laughter I get everyday!
Boy, today has turned into a sappy day for me! I guess I will get off my sappy soapbox and get back to making memories with my three most precious things God has ever given to me!!!!
