For my Sugar Free Challenge this week - "Someone's Gotta Do it"
"i am a mom. first and foremost my job consists of cuddles and kisses and breaking up brother fights. but being a mom is not as glamorous as it seems - because along side the games of hide and seek, and the owies and the 357 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches my job is filled with messes. with dirt and grime and countless unidentified sticky spots in unexpected locations... piles of matchbox cars and trails of cookie crumbs and more mud than i really know what to do with. ofcourse along with spilled juice and chocolaty faces and grubby little gooey hands comes the one real consistency in the unpredictable life of a mother. the one thing i can count on to just keep giving - countless loads of laundry. my daily gift from my little monkeys and my constant reminder that no matter how much cuddling and kissing and cleaning and scolding and wiping and playing this mom does, my work really will never be done."
