Today on Oprah it was all about the dirty little secrets about motherhood that no one talks about to warn you before you have kids or after you become a mother you don't talk about either. Things like feeling alone, feeling inadequate, or that your not getting everything done that you expect you should be doing. Things like "what did I get myself into" or any little complaint. And while I thought it was a good show and it made me feel like I am not alone in this quest to raise good kids and that it is okay to not LOVE every second of being a mom; they failed to say that through all the annoying things that we do there are the precious moments that one could not experience without being a mom. And it is those moments that make all the car pooling, the throw up everywhere, etc all worth it.
So I thought that I would take a moment and mention a few of those precious moments that I am grateful for.
1. I have two boys that are very good eaters
2. Both boys have given up their Binky's without tears (Beckham did not even ask for it last night).
3. While reading a mommy loves you book Cooper kept jumping into my lap to give me hug and kisses.
4. Beckham melts my heart with his beautiful smile and gorgeous eyes
5. Both boys can sing many Hymns
I am sure there are lots but you get my drift. I do feel frustrated, inadequate and even like I no longer have an identity. But I would not trade motherhood for anything.
