Grateful for my children

I have to say that today I am very grateful for all these wonderful children. I have to keep saying that over and over to myself so that on the bad days I have something to remind myself of why I am doing all of this.



Being the mother of 6 children definitely has it's challenges. Most of the time I have a long list of things that need to be done that seems never ending and impossible to finish. The one bright spot in all of it though is the happy smiling faces that greet me each day. Why not have so many kids, I ask? That is 6 times the laughs, 6 times the hugs, 6 times the "I love you Mom" and 6 times the fun.



I found this little quote that just makes my eyes tear up each time I read it. It rings true to me in every way:

I love them equally
But not the same -
for each is different
in their own special way.

Everyday I thank God for
the blessings I received
in having children
as wonderful as these.
