This Time of Year

Sometimes I feel like motherhood is a slow decent into madness. Its probably sad that a daily goal of mine is to not scream at my children. It's hard. I'm still working on it after having three kids. I will still be working on it by kid 4 and 5...possibly 6. Who knows!?! Motherhood is a reason I am thankful for repentance. I am pretty sure I have to say sorry to my kids, and the Lord multiple times during the day for not so nice things or thoughts when I am super frustrated. Sometimes I feel really bad for my hubby who probably didn't ever imagine he would end up with a crazy, hormonal,  chubby, mean lady for a wife. But when crazy things happen in this world and evil seems to strike another blow, I am so grateful for the gospel and that I get to love my husband and children eternally. Sometimes I wish I was perfect, but perfection wouldn't be very fun. The Lord knows His plan for me. He knows what I need and He can help me become who He knows I CAN become. I am so grateful for this time of year and the reminder of the wonderful gift of our Savior's birth.
