"Your Only Chore is Being a Mom!"

The day Mike and I got home from Aruba, 
as we were cleaning up and setteling back home.

Amelie to moi:

You give chores to everyone! 

Except for you! 

Moi:

Really? I've been doing stuff all day long!
Unpacking, sorting, putting away, laundry...

Amelie:

"Your only chore is being a mom!"

"You even give chores to the dog sometimes!

i'm suprised you give your own HUSBEND chores!

You dont let him do ANYTHING until hes done!"

Moi Thinks:

Like I do nothing!!!

I wish I had only one chore to do and I could give chores to the dog!

I know that this little turd girl will someday be big and know how much
that 'one chore of being a mom' really entails...

Moi to Amelie on that someday when she knows:

How many chores does a mom give to herself?
How many chores are added by other people?

How much does a mother sacrifice and give of herself?
Not in perfect ways. Often laking.
Falling short so many times...
Striving. Trying.
From sun up to way past sundown.
Day in and day out.
Digging deeper for strength within and often needing and calling on Divine strentgh.
Strugling to meet everyones needs.
Never giving up on the fruit of her loins.
All because of that love and bond she felt, that one day, a child was born from her body.

One day, you, the little girl, you too will know:
How many chores a mom realy carries and gives to herself?
Precious little girl of mine,
tel me again about the
'only chore of being a mom?'

With all my Love
MOM
