Motherhood is not for WIMPS!

Ok, YOu have all heard the saying Motherhood is not for WIMPS. Right?! SO WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING HERE??? Sometimes I feel like this...
The days can be rough and my three year old loves to make the most mischief possible! She is too smart for her own good and for my sanity as well! Sometimes I find myself singing the words to a song my mother made up when I was little...
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO SEE YOUR MOTHER IN A LOONEY BIN?
WHERE YOU COULD GO FOR A LITTLE RIDE AND SEE HER NOW AND THEN,
HOW LOVELY SHE'D LOOK ALL DRESSED IN WHITE WITH HER ARMS ALL STRAPpED DOWN TIGHT,
IN A ROOM THAT'S PINK AND PADDED WITH HER HAIR SO NICELY RATTED.
oh those were the days... when my mother was going CRAZY and not me!!
I hate to admit it because by telling this story you will all know what a TERRIBLE MOTHER I AM!!! Katelin won't go to Nursery by herself as soon as Clay or I try to leave she throws horrible fit and She screams and yells. To top it off she learned a new word so a couple sundays ago I shut the door to try to escape and immediately I heard her began her trantrum... " You piss me off, you piss me off" Yes, she really said that and I was totally embarrised. I looked in the little window and could see all the leaders look at each other in Shock and mouth something to the effect of... " did she say what I think she said?" I love my little Katelin, but she is definately a hand full! Clay put it this way... " She is lot of fun, but sometimes, fun is a lot of work!" Last time we went to church we bribed Katlin like crazy to get her to go to nursery and through some great miracle she went and without using any profain language might I add. But she has been soaking it for all it is worth ever since. I can't tell you how many times In the last 2 weeks I have heard the words "Please! I been good at nursery!" Ok, now that I have complained a little about how hard it is being a mother! There is nothing like it in the world. I know that I am truely blessed to be a mother. Yes, there are those days when I am going crazy and then there are the wonderful days when my children are angels and Katelin say things like "I lub you so much mommy" Or all the times she make me laugh at the funny things she says and does or makes me tear up at the sweet, profound comments she make. I loved the talk at conference by Pres. Monson where he said... "If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will—to your surprise—miss them profoundly." I have to admit I don't alway love those little finger prints every where, but I am going to try harder to "FIND JOY IN THE JOURNEY NOW" and enjoy moments like these...
