My Handful

Being a parent is hard. 

Some days I just want to throw my hands up and surrender to the craziness.

It is even harder when you have an extremely strong-willed child...who is loud and doesn't care who is around when she throws a tantrum.

It can drain the life out of you and all you can do is count the minutes til bed time.

But with all the tantrums...spitting...hitting, comes the tightest hugs and the biggest kisses!

She melts my heart when she run up to me, hugs my leg and says "I love you, Mommy!"

I am not a perfect mom.

Yes, I bribe my child with cookies just so she will pee in the potty and not in her pants.

I pray constantly.

Being a parent is hard, but I wouldn't want life any other way.
