Nice Shoes

It's January 2010
It Sunday
It's missing shoes
It's terribly cute!
And it even matches the cars on the street!
They poop on things
They make mountains of dirty laundry
They fight with each other
They rub their dirty hands and faces on every thing
They ignore me when I talk to them
they jump in the beds when I tell them to clean their rooms
they tell me lies
they break the windows
they pee on the floor
spill milk on the dog
constantly break their books
never stay in bed at night
put stickers on everything
they make me stress eat
they make me feel like I'm 80 years old
They make me so happy that I some times wonder if I deserve to have such wonderful children, and it reminds me that I need to try harder, because I want them to have everything good that I can possibly give them. I am so grateful that I get to be their mother and I hope that they will forgive me my faults and remember the things I tried to teach them. I know that one day they will no longer be these small miracles but regular adults. I hope that when that day comes, upon closer examination one will find individuals with the selfconfidence that comes from knowing who you are, that you are loved and that you belong to a loving happy family full of people who will support you through the tough and the rough and who will share your tears of sorrow and joy. I hope they will feel that their family is full of their dearest friends and be grateful to be related to each other and to all the people that belong with them. I wish for them, in short, a happy childhood, nothing in this world is more precious to a child and I want mine to have the best. I'm gonna fight for them, even when I come in last I'm not going to quit. I love them. I love them I love them.
