I think this blog is clearly more of a "From a Mom's Heart" type of blog than anything else. I know that it doesn't reach a wide variety of people, but I am ok with that. Read it if you want to. Don't read it if you don't want to.
Being a Mom is the number one thing that I have wanted from life since I can remember. The only other thing was to be a wife. I now have both, and am happier than I have ever been. Both can be so frustrating at times, but I don't think there is anything more rewarding. Yesterday was one of the worst days we have had in a long time. Elliot was super whiny and defiant from the moment he woke up. I could spank him, raise my voice, put him in time-out, but nothing seemed to work. I think a few cuss words even escaped from my lips, which is definitely out of character for me. I was just so frustrated!
Even as frustrating as those days are...at bedtime when he wraps his tiny, squishy arms around my neck and plays with my hair until he falls asleep, it's all worth it. I wouldn't trade this life for anything. Believe me, he is really a good boy most days. I don't really have much to complain about. Even the bad days though, I'll take them if it means that I get to snuggle up to my sweet boy and feel his breath soften as he finally gives in and falls asleep.
