World's Greatest Mommy?

I'm not. Let's just put that out there so you know right now.

I'm not on a short list, a long list, or anywhere in the minds of anyone on the globe as up for this prize.

I am, however, trying. Not really trying for a title. Just trying to do what I know will give my family the best chance at happy, successful lives here and beyond.

I fail a lot. There are many nights when I lie in bed and wonder what the heck I've gotten myself into. I'm way under qualified for this job. Which is funny because I thought it would be a breeze.

Sometimes I succeed. Sometimes there's a moment where I really feel that I've made a huge difference in the lives of my children. That my words, or example, or chocolate chip cookies really helped. I live for those moments.

When I'm not being a mommy, I try to be a wife.

I don't win any awards in that category, either.

But, I love my husband more than anything on earth. He's amazing and that he loves me too is just super cool. What are the odds?

So here I am...striving...trying...failing...picking myself up...succeeding...loving.

It's a truly blessed life.
