I Am a Mother

I am a mother. I don't keep the house ultra clean. I don't bake. I don't sew. I don't cook dinner unless there is no other option. I do the dishes. I don't hover. I don't yell... much. I do nag. I do love. I do tease and goof around. I do embarrass (them). I do care. I do worry about their safety. I do compliment their good looks and brains. I do their laundry. I make their lunches every once and awhile. I do praise and encourage them. I do hug and kiss them often. I do tell them what I think is right and wrong. I am honest with them and don't shelter them from the world but trust them to make the right choices. I do pray for them to make the right choices...whatever those might be for them. Most of all I love them and am so proud of them. Yup. I am a mother. I am lucky.
