Psalm 127:3
“Children are a gift from the Lord;
they are a reward from him.”

So.... I found this little video on my phone that my daughter evidently recorded this last Sunday. I just recently discovered it and watched it today, and cried!! Literally cried.
I have always wanted to be Supermom. You know, the kind of mom that has the house always perfectly clean, dinner on the table when the hubby comes home from work, laundry folded, shelves dusted, my makeup done, and having supermodel hair. Ha! .. and with my OCD, I even wanted all of my books to be set up in alphabetical order, and the clothes in my closet to be hung by color. I have anxiety when things don’t fall into place when I want them to, and a full basket of laundry, to me, is an equivalent to having the walls cave in on me.
But I learned something today while watching this video that my daughter made. And that is that I’m not Supermom. Its unrealistic that I try everyday to be one. As much as I would like to keep up with everything, I’m just can’t. It’s not possible. My kids don’t need a perfectly clean house, or alphabetized cereal boxes in the pantry; they want me. They love me no matter what. I feel humbled and blessed.

There are no words to describe how grateful I am for my family and my kiddos. I think I’ll take my kiddo’s advice and “slow down and have a day of relaxing.” ~C
