Journal Entry

I think sometimes, as a mother, I can get overwhelmed by life's day to day chores. With opting to stay at home with your children instead of going to work, the critisism is everywhere. It's been said that all we do is stay home and channel surf and busy ourselves with nonsense. I dont feel however that they are fair remarks to make. If I'm not careful I find myself getting very discouraged at such ignorant comments. Then I have to remember that I'm doing what Aaron and I feel is best for our family right now. That is not to say that one day, it may be necessary for me go back to work, but for right now, I'm doing "my job" just as Aaron is doing his.
I love spending time with my girls and being apart of all their accomplishments as well as helping to develop their creative mind. Kylie and I have so much fun playing dress up, and painting our fingernails and toenails, that soemtimes I find myself enjoying it! It's almost sad to think about how many times I've been anxious for her to get up from her nap so we can play! lol! The things I enjoy with Kenzie are more limited right now. We basically just sit and look at each other and make faces and laugh. But for now, that is enough. I love every smile and coo. I hope one day, when they are reading this back to themselves, they will not think that because they were unplanned, they were unwanted. From the second we found out they were on their way, I did whatever I could to make sure they would grow properly and be healthy. I love my family. Although were not perfect parents and Kylie and Kenzie are not perfect kids, its is our family and we are thankful for the responsibility the Lord has entrusted into our care.
