All about the babies and a little more! The days are long but the years are short.

PPP: The Pleasures and Pains of Parenting

Two babies asleep.
Hair a total mess
Is my day done or will there be more?
tantrums, yells, cries and pain
smiles, games, thrill and joy

the soft breeze of the night
yet loud enough to wake them up
the short days of winter
yet not so short for me

A spill here, a tear there
A kiss and a cuddle
to cure a bruise or a fall
Bed time stories and meal time messes

The things they say will make you laugh
The things they do will chase you away

Love fills my heart 
yet tears fill my eyes
Its much harder than I thought
being a mother and a wife
the hardest job in the world!

Yet at night when they close their eyes
It all seems worth it... 
It all seems right

I am as grateful as can be
for the children as wonderful as they are
I am happy, so happy to be their mum
And so blessed that they are mine!
