This is a thank you letter to all of the mommies out there doing the same thing I am doing. Wiping tears, making sandwiches, helping with homework, diapering and loving. I just scooped out all of Nathan's soup crackers from a sink full of water. Did you do that too? Maybe he was just making soup, I don't know. The bathroom door is now locked and I can get on with vacuuming after I pick up Legos, dolls, balls, and books. I want to let you and myself know that what we do matters!! It surely doesn't feel like it sometimes when you don't have the energy to tuck in one more cherub much less start laundry at 10pm but it does make a difference. I keep praying that I can do all things with a smile and not a frown, that I can cheerfully discipline instead of giving THE LOOK or yelling. Some moments are better than others. When I am walking closer to God all things seem easier. The task set before us is HUGE and yet, it is one day at a time..one loose tooth at a time, one bonked head at a time. If I thought I had to keep this pace up forever I would run for the hills. I only have to do my very best today to let God love my children through me. The Pot and Pan Band just started its next set, so I best end this and find a dance partner.
God Bless all of you mommies real good today!! I am praying for you!!

Thank you Carla. I'm crying now because someone else knows what it's like. Thank you and may God bless you today, too. My house may not be neat and clean, but my babies know I love them and they love me. That's a blessing.
