The Sweetest Thing

Sometimes I get so exasperated with my children. But a good night's sleep (thank you, Ambien) and a fresh start are usually all it takes to make me glad I'm the mom again. This morning, I was just messing around on the computer for a few minutes when Brynne woke up. She's so cute in the morning. And today, I was just overcome with feelings of love for this little girl. So I cuddled her close to me and told her how much I loved her. And then, being a girl, I started to get emotional and tears came to my eyes. She said, "Don't be sad, Mom." I hugged her even tighter as we sat on the couch. Again, she said, "Don't cry, Mom." Then she hopped off my lap and said, "I'll get a tissue." Then she ran to the kitchen, grabbed a tissue and brought it to me. Ahw! How sweet is that? There are so many reasons to get so frustrated with her. But it's moments like these that make motherhood priceless. It's the toughest job in the world. But I'm glad to be the mom.
