So, a beautiful sister-friend reminded me about this blog today.  She stopped by and read what I had to say.  I decided to stop in and see what I had to say as well.  Gosh, it's been almost a year since I blogged here last.  At that time I was just getting ready to embark on my new adventure as a stay-at-home mom, wondering if  there was going to be enough -- enough money, enough whatever and whether or not faith and determination would be enough to be successful. Was I going to be enough?  My sweet, sweet sister asked me if I had found my answer after being home for almost a year.  The truth is I still don't know.

I guess I would offer this:

Some days there's enough...there's enough money to get what we need, enough time in the day to get what we need done and enough of me to go around.

Some days there's not enough...there's not enough money to get what we want, not enough time to get what we need done and not enough of me to go around.

Lord knows my faith hasn't been present each day, nor has my determination. This job is the hardest job I've ever had.

If I'm being honest, I have focused on the latter far too often this past year.  I'm not proud of that, but as a responsible person should, I will own up to it.  I want to be better.  I want to focus on the positive;  after all, that's what I preach to my kids all the time I don't want to be one of "those" people who are all "do as I say, not as I do."  Nope don't want to be that person.  Guess I'll have to work on that.

Ha!  I have a lot  to work on but I suppose this will be a good start.

So,  I don't know the answers but the beautiful thing is -- our kids will love us even on the days that we aren't enough.  They may not like us every minute, we may not like them every minute but the unconditional love between a mother and child will get us  through even the worst of days.

We are moms, we can do anything and will do anything to take care of and protect our children...it's what we do and that HAS to be enough.

Love
