I thought we trained up kids "in the way they should go", and they would never question. Now I'm learning that they train us in they way they want us to go and if we value our sanity we will step out of their way. : )
My children continue to "outshine" me. They are funnier, happier, more generous, skinnier, complain less, have more friends and are better at their jobs. They even have ADORABLE kids! How can a Mom keep up with such goodness? Part of me wants to be a full-time Mom again. Another part of me says I need to get a life. When I signed up to be a mother I didn't know I was also signing up to be a Mom of grown children. Now my joy comes from watching them live good and fruitful lives. They are teaching me.

"Whatchu talkin' bout Willis?" You saying I'm not adorable? :)
ReplyDeleteMommy, You are funny. I love you. You may think we're better, but we all wish we were as perfect as you... the street runs two ways my friend. Oh, and you'll always be a full-time mom, you just have a facebook-using, phone-call answering position now!
