As a mother, like everyone else, I have days where I wonder, “Why me?” Where I try to discern what I ever did to deserve the “joys” rained down upon me by my 3 sons, maniacal demons in little boys’ clothing.
Today was NOT one of those days. Today I truly enjoyed every second with them. Today they made me proud and awed and overwhelmed with the enormity of it all. Today my cup runneth over. Today is why I love my job.
We didn’t do anything out of the ordinary, really. Anthony’s been out of town for 4 days, so you’d think the bloom would definitely be off the rose and we’d be at each other’s throats.
Instead, we read books and did homework. We went to dinner and played at the park. I was told how beautiful I was and had to figure out a way for all 3 boys to sit next to me at the table because they all wanted to be “by Mama.” (Well, Luke’s was a silent vote, but I took the liberty of assuming he’d want to be by the person who was most likely to actually give him food.) We counted bed bugs and tried to quantify just how much we loved each other. (“up to the sky and down again” SIX whole times!!!)
I mean, how could it get any better than that?
May all mommies be blessed with this kind of day. It makes it all worth it.
