Being a mom is not a glamorous job. It is not fun 100% of the time, I am covered in snot or food, it consists of many moments of impatience, frustrations, annoyance, and exhaustion.
Tonight I went on a mother-daughter date with my middle child. When we came home, the rest of the kids were asleep so I got her ready for bed, just the two of us. As we prayed and I kissed her good night, she asked me if I could come lie with her and cuddle with her. I said of course and as I tucked her in and cuddled her, she squeezed my hand super tight and kissed me several times on the lips and she said to me, “Momma? If there was a fire, I would rather lose my blankie than to lose you.” It made my heart melt because if you know her, her blankie is everything to her. She can’t sleep without it, she cries if she can’t find it, it comforts her and she carries it with her everywhere in the house. I almost cried and kissed her about 20 times and whispered, “Thank you baby, I love you so much too.”
It’s sweet moments like this that make my heart swell up with so much happiness and I know being their mother is my most important job. And even though it is the hardest job I’ve ever had, no other job has ever made me more happy or at peace.
