Mother

Yesterday at the beach (which I will blog later) I was talking with the friend we went with who has two beautiful children. She asked if we wanted another and I said we wanted five. She said, "Don't you want a life?"

The answer of course is yes, but what is the definition of "a life"? Mine includes lots of hugs and kisses and babies and love. A house full of kids is a house full of fun and laughter.

My choice in life is to be a mother. To spend my days loving and nurturing. Cooking and cleaning. Teaching and playing. Laughing and dancing. Singing and scolding. Talking and praying.

My children are my life.

And I LOVE my life. Being a mother is top on my list.

I love hearing that. It feels good to know there are others out there that feel the same way I do.
