I am a GREAT mom!

Because...

I am not perfect.  I admit my mistakes, and I correct them.  I start and end each day on my knees.

I collect Boxtops for my children's schools.

I take my kids to school every day, on time.  Namely, I wake them all up, make sure they get dressed, clean their rooms and make their beds.  All seven of us are in the car, dressed, with shoes/socks no later than 7:50 (usually around 7:40) every single morning.  4 kids on time to 3 schools.

I constantly change diapers for two babies, preventing (and clearing up) diaper rash. I have been changing diapers non-stop for over ten years now.  Most of those years I was changing two children at once.

I feed them, cuddle them, coddle them, as needed.

I put them to bed at a reasonable hour.

I grocery shop most days and clean the house every day.  Redundant work, but worth every minute.

I set and keep all doctor, dentist and miscellaneous appointments for my children.

I drop off and pick up 6 times every school day.

I wash, dry, fold, and manage laundry for 6 children and myself.  Also sorting socks.

I take a shower every day.  I also give them all baths every night. (We may skip once a week.)

I go to therapy.  I take my children to therapy.

I listen to their concerns, hold them when they cry, celebrate them when they succeed.

I attend every (public) performance, every assembly, every conference.

I bring them to church, and do my best to be an example to them.

I am, in all ways, and at all times, their MOTHER.  There is nothing higher on my priority list.
