Overview
My family was out to dinner one night when my four-year old son dropped his fork. He crawled under the table to get it, and was under there for a good sixty seconds. When he finally resurfaced, he was chewing a big wad of gum. I was horrified. I sat there staring at him in complete shock. He locked eyes with me and said, "I love this restaurant, they have free gum under the tables!"
I'm telling you, kids don't come with nearly enough instruction manuals. Parenting is a wonderful roller-coaster ride of ups and downs, twists and turns, and extreme highs and lows. You just never know what to expect.
I started writing about my kids in order to keep my sanity and gain some perspective. In the process, I learned how to find joy in the midst of the craziness. These are my stories of life as a mom. I am FAR from perfect, but I'm pretty sure my kids still love me anyway. Like you, I am just doing the very best I can. This parenting gig is not easy, and I pray for patience and grace every single day. But I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I hope you can relate to my crazy life, and I really hope you can laugh right along with me- it's good for the soul.
