So far today I have loaded the dishwasher 3 times and unloaded it twice. I have swept the kitchen floor 3 times, picked up countless toys, changed over 20 diapers and wiped MANY noses. I have rocked 5 children to sleep... at least once each. I've done 2 loads of laundry, made three completely balanced meals (plus a snack), read several books, been called "Mamma" about a hundred times, settled several disputes over personal space and e-mailed parents about concerns with their child. I have kept records, made bottles and cleaned up spills. I have bleached counters and changing tables, sanitized binkies and kissed boo-boos.
Am I complaining? Nope! This is what I choose to do. Because today I made a difference in the lives of children. Every snotty hug, slobbery kiss, silly song, smile and cuddle will help mold who these little people become and I am so privileged to be a part of that!!
