I love being a mom.
- I love that I never open a door. There is always a handsome young man opening doors at church, school, stores, and even the car! How pampered am I?
- I love watching my kids do karate, play baseball, play euphonium, and the dozens of other things they do. I am WAY more proud and excited about their accomplishments than I am about the crazy things I do.
- I love hearing my kids laugh. I think my kids are generally witty and hilarious. Sure, we border on the crude and socially unacceptable. . . but these are BOYS I am dealing with!
- I love being loved. There is absolutely nothing better than a big bear hug from your son. Especially when they are 17 and still give hugs- even in front of their friends.
But being a mom is scary, too.
- What if I haven't taught them everything they need to know?
- What if they aren't happy?
- What if they get sick?
- What if they end up just like me?
- What if they end up hating me?
I can't dwell on the "What ifs," because they will drive me CRAZY! I will just be happy with my awesome kids today. Now.
