Mother May I?

Yesterday was the holiday where mom gets to manipulate the kids to the nth degree! Yep! "C'mon guys, it's Mother's Day"....."Just let mom nap"...."Pick up your rooms".....all that jazz. Funny story....this year I didn't have to ask or say anything. The kids are old enough now to actually be mindful and DESIRE to do things for me! I woke up sick so we did the best we could to go to church. I couldn't make it all the way through so we came home for a nap. They cleaned the car and were very quiet while I laid in the bed snoozing for 2 1/2 hours! Woot toot!! I woke up feeling ready to eat so as we traveled to our lunch in Forney, the kids talked sweet to me and just made me feel special! They were mindful to get along, love me, and just show me how special I am to them. We are all special to someone, but most of all God. I am so grateful to be a mom. Sometimes I still can't believe God trusted me enough with two! Wow! I know I need Him to help me raise them and I am so glad He does! God Bless!!!
