Mother

My kids are home... and dang, I missed them. It was funny for me, because I spent nearly 5 days away from my babies, and enjoyed the quiet, enjoyed the freedom, and yet I felt empty and lonely when I sat long enough to think about it.

I realized this last five days that I now know what my purpose in life is at this stage. I am meant to be a mother. It felt really good to have a break, but felt even better to see five beautiful smiling faces grinning at me this morning when I saw them for the first time. I feel like I have a purpose, and a reason to be here, now, and it is to raise my five sweet kids. I sure love those crazy little monkeys!
