Such as...
*Although I am a competent mom, I really can't handle raising these 4 kids by myself. I was alone last week as Buck was traveling and it was hard, hard, hard. Not only do I need my husband, but I also need my friends, my neighbors and my exercise buddies! Wow, that's a lot!
*I shared this on Facebook so my FB friends will be seeing this for the 2nd time, but this is Charlie's take on my singing: "Mom, you see how I'm singing to myself, with my mouth closed? Maybe you should try that." And it's true. I'm a terrible singer. But you know it's bad when your 5-year-old is critiquing you like Simon Cowell.
*When your 7-year-old says to you "Mom, you know I would really feel safer if you would put 2 hands on the steering wheel." I wasn't texting or talking on the phone or anything, I promise! But give me a break, this isn't Driver's Ed!
*It does tend to bring you down to earth a bit after you've attended a lovely birth, had the glowing new parents think the world of you (when in reality the new mama did all the hard work, and you know for a fact that you are only a vessel), and then you come home to...literally...piles and piles of laundry and a baby with a poopy diaper. Reality.Check.
I truly think God has a way of putting things in front of us that need to be seen. I also think that He puts things in front of us when we need to be built up as well. This just didn't happen to be one of those times. A little humility! Peace~
