Iam a Mom

I sit here and I enjoy my morning, alone to myself. Aubrie never made a peek last night, so it was pretty awesome. I got up, made Riley his lunch(something i never do), and break feast, and I sent him on his way. It was nice to have the mornings just to us. Then I was able to have a shower, and get ready under normal conditions. It was nice, felt so great, and now Iam able to sit and blog without someone yanking on my arm.

But yet in the back of my mind, I long for the knock on the bedroom door, or the tiny voice through the monitor letting me know they are up. Aubrie and Allie are my life. The reason I get through every day, the reason I wake everyday. I Cherish my moments with them, and am so thankful I have chosen this journey of becoming a mother. I already long for the next little one, cause I know in my heart our family isn't complete. They always say u just know when it is, and well Riley and i know it's not. There's plenty room yet!

I was out the other day, and I always get attention when I head out cause of the two girls in the stroller. I come across elder people it seems and they always r stopping me, pointing fingers, and pinching there little cheeks. Yet this one elder man, tells me there so adorable, and beautiful, and yet asks "what do u do for a living??" Like who asks that..lol I say "I'm just a mom", and he totally shifted and turned away. That moment ponders in my head, leaving me to think "Is that not good enough?", "did I say something wrong?"... I thought about how "just a mom", is many jobs, and it's a more task ful job then heading to work 9-5 and coming home like your day is done. A mothers job is never done. I felt like ragging inside and yelling my thoughts to him, first by telling him, who does he think he is. It was heartbreaking, and very hurtful, and I still will think that thought many times over I'm sure.

In my heart, do i regret the job Iam doing everyday? No not at all. I could easily send my kid's off to daycare, and work out there in the world, but I choose to be at home with my kids, and because of that choice, Iam nobody. Well to my kids Iam somebody. And someday they will thank me for being able to raise them, instead of some other person. I love my job, and yes it is a job. I love waking everyday to there voices, and playing endlessly with them, and showing them new things, or teaching them new things. It's amazing in my eyes. So when someone asks next time what i do for a living, I will make sure to shout it loud and proud, that, "IAM A MOM". And I will be a mom, till the day I leave this earth. I intend to be there for them as much as possible, and not get a job in the world for a long time. I love being home, many people ask, "how can u do it", "it's so boring talking to little ones, not adults". But to me, it's never boring, every day is a new day, and thats what I love. I love being a mom...
