Wouldn't have it any other way!

I'm talking about my job!
There are days I feel like I'm not very good at what I do, some days I feel prepared and can anything that comes my way.
I'll be the first to say my house isn't always tidy...though I try. My kids sometimes eat pre-packaged food...and sometimes they eat more candy than good calories in a day(typically, not because of me). My kids love to watch TV and they have spent time mindlessly watching the 'babysitter'. I sometimes need to be reminded that there are no clean socks and then spend a late night cleaning clothes for the morning when the rest of the family is fast asleep. I have dreamt of a day without my lil followers underfoot and felt that my need for adult talk/time could be met. I'm pretty sure that's normal.
But I do love this job! From the sick late nights to doing the mundane tasks with 'help' to teaching and guiding our kids to be responsible members of society. I just am so thankfully that I can do this job I love. Some people I know may not understand what I do but that doesn't matter. I love to care on my family! The best part of it is knowing that I could never do my hubby's job, and I deeply respect him for what he does for us. I love that though this world places no financial value on what I do, my hubby is super thankful for what I do and the value I have in our home. Being part of their everyday, helping them learn a task and being the one they run to when they are sad is payment enough! I feel so blessed!
So there you have it... I love my job!
...and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love my job too! It may not feel rewarding at times, but it SOOO is!!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who lets them watch too much tv some days, or eat prepackaged foods, or eat too much candy! You are doing an awesome job!!
