Laundry

Dishes and laundry are never done. A mother's job is never done.

Just when I think I've finished them ALL, another dirty cup appears and then my son spills on his shirt and we need to change him.

This constant flow of housework is a reminder to me that my job as a mother will never be done. I will always have more advice for my boys and I'll always be watching out for them even as they grow up into men. And I hope they can always come to me with their problems or when they need a shoulder to cry on or a listening ear.

Today my 3 year old woke me up asking me to get out of bed and please let him help me do some laundry. Not fun being woken up to work right when my feet hit the floor, but it actually was fun. Probably the best time I've had do laundry ever. He helped start two loads and fold a finished one. Without his encouragement I definitely would have chosen to do something else first in my morning.

I love being a mom!!!
