We all have days when we feel like locking our children outside and throwing away the key. (Or maybe that's just me?) Days when kitchen appliances catch on fire, children give each other black eyes, and laundry overflows in to the neighbor's yard. No one ever said this mothering thing would be easy, but it is totally worth it because of moments like this one:
When going in to say goodnight to the boys, Josh overheard Sam sigh, and say to himself,
"Ohhh, I just looove Mommy!"
He wasn't trying to convince me to give him a third ice cream sandwich or let him have fifteen more minutes of computer time. His love was unprompted, unscripted and totally sincere.
I love you too Sam.

Why the hard stuff doesn't matter
