Diana asked me to write a little somethin-somethin about motherhood for her blog. I whipped this up and I wanted to post it here too because, ya know, this stuff needs to be documented.
"Is it lucky to have kids?"
This is what Eli asks when he can tell I'm frustrated/angry about something naughty he or Audrie did.
These kids drive me bonkers sometimes. But, holy wow, they are so funny and cool, and help me be a better person. They are the two little people my husband and I created. People I carried for 9 months and gave birth to. I've kept them alive for 5.5 & 3.5 years. They've seen me at my very best and learned wonderful things from me. They've seen me at my worst and learned naughty words from me. We've laughed and cried together. We've slept cuddling in the same bed together. We've been on memorable family vacations together, and yelled at each other. I've had moments when I know exactly what I'm doing and exactly how to mother them, and I've had moments when I've sobbed so hard because I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to get through another day as a mother (we've been seeing the latter a lot around here lately). They are my very favorite people in the whole world and I feel incredibly blessed that God gave them to me.
I am Eli and Audrie's Momma and that's what I want to be forever and ever and ever.
