There are a dozen moments in my day to day life as a mummy,
which make me want to scream.
But there are easily ten dozen moments that make me want to burst;
with pride
and with thankfulness
and with overwhelming love.
The cuddles, the laughter, the unconditional bond.
They are the best payment I could ask for
for the challenging, important, exhausting and exhilarating job
of being their mummy.
Those two funny, cheeky, sensitive, beautiful little people
are the best thing to ever happen to me,
and the love I have for them isn't something that anyone could ever have prepared me for.
And the best bit of all,
is knowing that I am their mummy.
I am theirs completely and utterly.
That job is uniquely mine
and totally priceless.
Being a mummy is the most happy thing in my entire world.
And so it is the natural choice to link up with My Two Mums' Sharing Happiness project.
That heart wall is gorgeous! To right being a mummy is what makes me the happiest too :) x
ReplyDeleteThank-you, it's above our bed. We like picking up new ones to add to it when we see them. x
DeleteBeing a Mummy (Mama) is THE most happy thing in the world Totally agree. Thanks so much for linking up.
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for hosting. Being a mummy seemed like a good place to start, but I'm going to find different happy things to link up each month, just need to choose them. x
DeleteNothing brightens up my day more than when my wee man smiles and gives me one of his big hugs...especially after he has been cheeky :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, my little man does that too; super cheeky followed by a charming smile and heart warming cuddle. They know how to keep their mummies happy, don't they? x
DeleteGorgeous photo, your 1st paragraph is just right, I agree also it is a void that you never know existed xx
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely, it's just not a love you could explain to someone who doesn't have children. It's such a unique thing. x
DeleteAhhhh Lucy you have made me come over all emotional with this x
ReplyDeleteOh bless you. We all like an emotional tug at the heartstrings now and again. x
DeleteLovely Lucy and such a fitting photo too!
ReplyDeleteAlthough i think the screaming moments might outweigh the thankful moments over here, it's still enough though -
just! ;) xx
Hahaha. Yep, even on those bad days, there still seems to be just about enough of the nice stuff to get you though. x
DeleteI love the wall, I'm a bit of a heart addict. Such a lovely post x
ReplyDeleteMe too, hence the heart wall. I love picking up new ones to add to it. x
DeleteAhh I had some lovely moments today watching my two play together nicely. I'm not gonna lie though, as much as I try to be positive at the moment I am still stressed by tea time, Cherry aged three is STRESSFUL!! x
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the rough with the smooth being a mother, isn't it? Some days are rougher, some are smoother, but you wouldn't change your job for anything. x
DeleteAwww such a lovely post. Love the hearts on the wall! x
