The journaling reads:
I am a Mom who is in constant duty 24/7, whose nerves and patience have been tested to the max, who does not have high tolerance for crying and whining, who cooks, tries to clean the house, who is her girls personal driver, who is their schedule/appointment setter, the grocery shopper, and their full time caretaker. The mommy who tries to involve them as much as possible in activities that will enrich them and help them in life, even if that causes more craziness sometimes. My very few breaks during the day are interrupted by requests, little people pulling my pants (and my nerves), or by the smell of the burning dinner forgotten on the stove. Forget about uninterrupted phone calls, the taste of fresh hot coffee (settle for the reheated a million times version), and even forget about privacy in the bathroom or while taking a shower. But, I am also the mommy who -
Has a supportive husband who is responsible for his family, whose kisses and hugs will cure a boo boo, who is the American Idol for her little ones, even if all I can sing are nursery rhymes. The mommy who is blessed with three beautiful daughters, the best man on earth, and just a beautiful life. The mommy who once in a while blows up and gets the crazy idea of going back to work, but who deep in her heart knows she would not change what she has, not for a minute, not for a second. This is one happy and blessed mom.
