Mother's Day

I have been thinking about Mother's Day so much this week

Usually I don't enjoy going to church on this holiday.

Too many grown children going off about how perfect their mom always is

Here's the deal.

I am not "that" perfect mom

My girls are not going to say:

*sappy sweet voice*

I never heard my mom raise her voice

My mom was always studying her scriptures and kneeling in prayer

We always had breakfast, lunch and dinner together

She was always ready with a positive twist on everything

and the list goes on...

What my daughters will most likely say is more along these lines:

My mom is loud, quite often

My mom reads her scriptures, not usually in the official "morning and bed Mormon standard"

My mom says lots of prayers alone in the car, and always puts peoples names on the Temple Prayer Roll

We always eat, sometimes it's on time, sometimes not. But we have fun

I can talk to my mom about literally everything. everything

Here's what I think, we are not the "typical Mormon"

family but I don't care

I love that my girls come to me with everything

Seriously, everything from church, school, boys and husbands

We get

mad

annoyed

ticked off

tired off

and everything between

But we also

laugh

giggle

squeal

and love each other

I love being a Mother

It's the most rewarding thing in life that I could ever do

I am so grateful to have them in my life

I am constantly learning from them

They are amazing in every way

Thank you

Girls.
