I agree with you that happiness is a choice about 99% of the time. Every job, even motherhood, is going to have obstacles and challenges and days of total exhaustion, but you can either choose to give up, and be miserable, or get up and be happy! I choose happiness all the way!

Sorry I am so late in reading this. I was traveling all weekend!

It really hit home for me and you are so right! We are all good moms because we love our families and try each day to be the best moms that we know how. Its not always pleasant and it is exhausting at times {ok most of the times} but just being their for our children and showing them that we love them more than anything is what really matters.

Great spin on the contest – thanks for entering!

Isn’t that the truth?? But yes, it’s worth it. Hard work, but the goal is a to send some good people out in the world. I hope I succeed – mine are crazy right now!

Thanks for stopping by! It is better when we let go of perfection, isn’t it?

You summed it up when you said that it can be a thankless sometimes mundane job, yet at the same time the most amazing experience of your life. I try to live by the advice that being messy and imperfect is part of being a mom….I have found that when I succomb to this, I start to love my job!!! Looking forward to reading more of your posts.
