Just being MOM
Our happy family of 5, at Myrtle Beach
My boys
A rare picture of me with the boys
Kolby spoke first. "Well, he said, you could not yell so much to clean our rooms."
Brock had a nervous look on his face and kept asking, "Why? Why did you ask us this?"
He looked as if I was falling off of a cliff and he would never see me again. He told me that
I was a great mom.
Seth says "Mom, your wonderful and I love you. You are perfect."
Then, Kolby says, "Well, you are a pretty good mom, I guess."
Brock still looks nervous like I am going to fall out of this chair and disappear forever. I think
I made him nervous.
I tell the boys I am not perfect that no person is. I am trying however to be a better mother. It
is hard to have 3 boys and not go a little nutty at times with keeping a nice and tidy house.
Especially, now that we live in a MUCH larger home. I've learned in my old age (of 34) to
relax a little more than when I first became a mother and to listen to my sons more. They will not
be this young for long and I will miss them when they grow up. I don't want them to reflect back when they are my age and say that I yelled at them or was always grumpy. I try and be fun but they do respect me and know when I mean business, I MEAN BUSINESS! Sometimes we get
into a routine and do not want to stop but when one of my boys says they need me, I have been stopping what I am doing to see what they need or listen to them instead of my radio when I am
making supper. Mothers aren't perfect and I know I definately am not but I'm happy that for now,
my boys think that I am!

You are a wise woman and a wonderful mother!
I'm going to text my daughter this question and I'll get back to you with what she says. This should be interesting!
She said "Nothing." But added that if I would have asked her that when she was in high school, it would have been a different answer!
I was actually tickled pink with that answer!
Holly, I love that our kids love us! Hope is becoming so much like you and she is a lucky lady. You are a WONDERFUL person.
