However sometimes I don't think I truly display the right attitude about being a momma.
How easy it is to dwell on the negative. How simple it would be to think well I don't have a choice... I have to be mom.
NO! The truth is I did have a choice. I CHOSE to be a MOM. That is the life I had wanted since I was a little person. Now I am a MOMMA TO LITTLE PEOPLE! How amazing and awesome is that? Some see it as a duty. Some see it as the 'norm'. I see it as this amazing and awesome job I get to do everyday.
I don't want to take for granted how lucky I am. I know so many mommas that don't get to spend as much time with their little ones as I do. I know so many woman who want a child of their own and I am soooo blessed to have three amazing small people AND that I get to be with them so often.
Sometimes it is hard to remember that God really gave these little ones to me. I was specifically chosen to mother Leanna, Hudson and Nolan. I never feel like I measure up or that I am "Good enough" or even half as a good as some other moms. It makes it hard to be thankful to be a mom when you feel that way. However God knows my heart. He knows the hairs upon each of my babies heads. He knew I was best for them and they were best for me.
So for Day 1 of this month long thankfulness. I am thankful for the beautiful, crazy, make mommy pull her hair out, amazing, kind, funny, sweet and ALL MINE little people!
Momma to 3

You sure have incredible and beautiful children to be thankful for! :)
I, too, am thankful for your kids. They're pretty awesome!
And I know, as a mom, it's good to have a right perspective of our kids - they are blessing, not a curse (though some days .... hmmmm ...). Thanks for the reminder today! :)
