Words of Encouragement

Came across this lovely poem...Cheers to all SAHMs and working mums alike!! ^_^

AT HOME MUM

I sit for the first time today, shifting laundry in the way
Cereal scattered across the floor, handprints on a just cleaned door
Toys underfoot in every room, the kitchen in need of a mop and broom

SO TIRED............ yet what did I accomplish TODAY???

I read "GO DOG GO" a dozen times, recited a book of nursery rhymes
Giggled as bubbles danced in the sky, wisely replied to the question "WHY?"
Scolded tiny feet too close to the street, wrestled shoes on a toddler's feet
Kissed a boo-boo and dried a tear, gave a first potty a rousing cheer
Refused to surrender to an angry fit, cried in quiet as frustration hit
Refereed who would have the blue cup, insisted on nap time and never gave up
Prodded and pleaded to eat the peas, gave horse back rides on hands and knees
Delighted to spot a ladybug, shared a glorious teddy bear hug
Taught little fingers to count 1-2-3, reminded to use THANK YOU and PLEASE
Tucked a wee one in snug and tight, cherished a sweet wet kiss goodnight

And I accomplished all of these things ........... TODAY!!!!!

I got to be one step closer to my goal, my greatest challenge, my greatest role
I'm blessed and honoured to be a mother, a privilege I'd never leave to another
I want to watch my children grow, to shape their lives then let them go
The rewards will come in so many ways, so I pray my tomorrow will be just like TODAY!!
