I think today I am most thankful for this...



I often wonder and sometimes joke about what my life would be like if we didn't have kids.  I wonder what I would do.  Where I would work.  The places I would go.  The gigantic bank account I would have.  The mounds of free time I might have. The full nights rest I would get every night.  What kind of a car I would drive (I can assure it would NOT be the mini!). If I would get my workout in every day. The peace and quiet that may reside. What things I would find happiness and fulfillment in and the list goes on!

Then after I think of all those things I realize how incredibly BORING it would be.  It would literally be like watching paint dry every single day! I absolutely CAN NOT imagine my life without these kiddos.  They bring me JOY beyond measure! Some days they bring me to tears either through exhaustion and frustration or just by absolute delight and laughter.  My whole world is these two kids and being their mom and I wouldn't trade it for the largest bank account, endless exotic vacations, all the free time and sleep in the world or anything else for that matter.  They are my life and I am so thankful that Heavenly Father sent them to me so that I would have something to do and listen to every day. :) Honestly though, I have an insurmountable amount of gratitude to my Father in Heaven for allowing me to experience pure and simple HAPPINESS each and every day all thanks to a little thing called motherhood! Heavenly Father knew what he was doing and created such an amazing plan! I am so thankful that I get to be a part of it and that I get to to borrow these two little spirits.  
LOVE THEM!
