There are days...

[beadingmom17]

There are days when I want to scream and rant and rave because my toddlers spilled stuff all over my nice clean floor.

There are days when I want to smack my husband upside his head for doing something stupid.

There are days when I curse the Legos my kids left out.

There are days when I want to run away and change my name because I can't stand the incessant "Mommy, mommy, mommy" cries anymore.

There are days when I wish I could sleep in.

There are days that I wish I were single and carefree, again.

There are days I wish I had a different life.

But then......

I realize that there is a mom out there who would give anything to have to keep cleaning up her floors if only her child were capable of making a mess.

I realize that there is a wife out there who would give anything for her husband to come home to do something stupid but she knows he'll never come home, again.

I realize that stepping on Legos are the least of my worries because I actually have 2 feet, 2 legs to be able to step on toys with.

I realize that there is a mother who would love to hear her child speak and cry out "Mommy" every second of the day if only they could speak or were even around to speak anymore.

I realize that I was given the gift of waking up another day.

I realize that my single, carefree life was meaningless without my husband and my children in it.

I realize that without the life I have, I wouldn't be me.  I love who I am, I love my family, I love my life and I know that the grass isn't greener on the other side!
