Hard, but i love doing it!!!

I'm home with my kids and I almost NEVER get out on my own. That makes it hard to stay patient and happy. Husband works second shift, so I get bedtime without him. The worst part of the day becuase we are all tired and short on patience. I LOVE that I don't have to ask some stranger in the daycare center what my kid does all day, likes, that kind of thing. I wouldn't trade this for the world.

I have two children, James 3 and Shanna 4. I absolutely cherish being a mother. It is very hard at times. especially when I am the only way here most of the time. I sometimes miss my "alone" time, but when the babies are away with family I miss them after about two hours. At times I get really depressed and long for other adult company, but I wouldn't change it for the world.

I am not lucky enough to have any children but I often see little kids when I am out shopping and i think how lucky people are to have those little souls, it is a hard job but the most important job in the world.

That is true!!! Being a mother is very hard, but the same with you I love doing it. Although my one and only child is only 2, I can say that I have been through some of those nerve-racking experiences since I am a full-time mom. I know that there will be more trying times coming my way, but I want to stay positive and always look at the bright side of things. You're right about a smile and kiss makes it all go away... It makes all the tiredness, the madness of things, and even if i had a bad day a smile and a kiss from my baby makes everything feel alright.
