I Close With a Hug

So today my daughter and I picked my son up from school, a woman was standing on the front steps of school and she asked me “ I don’t know how in the world you are able to stay so put together with 2 kids. What’s your secret?” I laughed

Being a mother is the hardest job on the face of the planet. And when you have to play both roles (mother and father) it’s even harder. There are times when I want to scream from the top of my lungs and crawl in a corner and just lay there for hours, but I just snap out of it and realize that my children are a blessing. Every day I tell my daughter that she is beautiful inside and out; and that her smile is brighter then the sun. I am so happy to have her in my life. And my son, the little man of my life, I look at him, straight in the eyes, hold his hands and I tell him, from the bottom of my heart.. “Mommy loves you so much. And one day you are going to make some young lady so happy.” And I close it with a hug.

So to that woman that asked me that question today…. My kids is my motivation to keep striving everyday :)
