Lately I have been thinking a lot about being a mom. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that it was mothers day last week but I have been feeling very blessed for the two beautiful girls Rhett and I have been given to raise and take care of. Definitely there are a lot of challenges that come with being a mom i never even thought about before I had kids. I think back when Rhett and I were first married and I was working full time, I would seriously day dream about the day when I would be a mom and just be able to stay home all day and hang out with my babies. It's a funny concept to me now, dreaming about staying home all day. As much as i love being a stay at home mom there are more challenges than I dreamed about during my working years. But when it comes right down to it there is not a thing I would change. I love being a mom. What better career could I have for myself than to be actively raising two wonderful kids. I love that I get to wake up to my tiny little Ruby crawling in bed with me every morning. I love that every time we get in the car we have to listen to the "I've got no strings song" from Pinocchio or "it's a small world" the entire car ride and my girls sing non stop. I love that Lilly loves to collect box elder bugs in her bug catcher and always tries to sneak them inside the house. I love how excited both of them get when Rhett gets home from work. I think it's funny( I don't know if i love it) that every time Lilly does something she knows she shouldn't do and gets caught she blames it on Ruby even if we watched her do it. I love that Ruby tries to say and do everything Lilly does. I love that Lilly wants to have a sleepover in Ruby's room every night. I love watching my girls help Rhett in the yard. I love that Lilly finds a new friend everywhere we go; Costco, the grocery store, the park, restaurants, everywhere! I love the "I love you moms", I love the hugs and the kisses and those rare moments when both my girls are sleeping and they look so peaceful. I am so grateful that I get to be apart of and see all the memorable moments in my girls lives. It's the best job I've ever had!
