Sometimes, being a mommy is all snowman pajamas and snuggling under blankets with books and stirring cookie dough and naming stuffed animals. Those times are beautiful, but rare.
More often, being a mommy is wiping snotty noses and cleaning up spills and saying please-get-down-from-there and no-you-can’t-have-a-snack-before-supper fourteen times a minute while trying to fold laundry, cook a meal and learn how to use new software simultaneously. Those times are not so beautiful and much more common.
Lord, give me the fortitude to count both kinds of time as a blessing!
(Markus does great karaoke…here he was singing Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog,” I’m pretty sure.)
