So glad to be at home

Today I feel lucky to be a stay at home mom. I took the kids to story time at the library this morning. The teacher was singing with the kids and Lilly was off particiapting and playing with the other kids. Liam was crawling on the blocks accross the room. And I was was sitting against the wall watching them thinking to myself they might like a daycare because they were having a blast with all the kids, toys, and teacher entertaining. Pretty soon story time started and Lil went and sat in the story time circle. Halfway through the story when all the kids were quiet she stood up and said "Mom where are you"? She ran over to me gave me a little hug and ran back to the circle to hear the rest of the story. It was such a normal everyday moment but it made me so happy that when she needed me I was right there. Then we went to lunch together and home for naps. Such a normal day but so wounderful. I know I make my kids happy (most of the time anyway) and I never have to miss a moment with them. So today I am very happy to be stay at home mom. I'll come read this one day when I'm having one of those this is the hardest job immaginable kind of days and remember it's all worth it for the small moments of great joy that we experience together everyday.
