Sometimes it is pretty easy to get ground under with all the thankless stuff that you have to do as a parent. Today I actually got a bit of appreciation.
I was making the kids lunch and had made them stay downstairs so that they would not harass me while I was working in the kitchen. Part way through the lunch preparation I hear Evan say "Good job making lunch Mommy" and then later he actually thanked me for making him lunch. This was repeated at dinner time.
I replied with a "You are welcome" but it also made me feel a bit bad that I had been kind of grumpy with him. He can be such a trying child at times and sometimes I would love to sell him just so I could have a few moments of peace. When he is not annoying the crap out of me, he is a very sweet and loving child. I feel so lucky to be his mom.

About Me
- Awesome Mom
- Here are a few facts about me: I am married, I have 3 lovely boys and 1 girl: Evan (9), Harry (8), Daniel (4) and Lily (2); I love reading (especially science fiction novels but I do have a wide range of reading interests); I dabble in many different crafts (right now I am into knitting) and I don't floss my teeth every day like I should. My eldest son has a complex heart defect and that has changed my life in so many ways (mostly good).

You know I was just "tagged" to post what I learned from my mom or from being a mom, and after reading your post perhaps you will be one of the people I tag in return.
Evan loves his mom, that's evident. And trying as he may be (and as we are to God) there is never a doubt of the never failing love.
I will buy him!
I also will buy him.
Didn't you know that to a little guy nobody in the world can cook as good as Mommy? Enjoy the hero worship now---it doesn't last!

That is sweet!
awww that is so sweet! Those moments really make it all worth it!
Sometimes they just come out of nowhere with their gratitude and it makes up for allllll the other bouts of ingratitude, doesn't it. :-)
:) I love your honesty. Sometimes my kids drive me NUTS and I feel like such a lame mom. Thanks for letting me know I'm still ok!
I feel so lucky to have you for a friend. A friend that KNITS! Shorites and Longies!
They've already been broken in.
Uh....every day since we got them.
Loved everything.
*smooch*
Ill buy!
or wil you take a trade in? :)
I could have totally written a similar post. When my son isn't bugging me to death, he's the most precious little pumpkin. Why can't we get a little more of that sweetness?
