A Great Reminder for Mom's

I have a friend who posted this on her blog and I wanted to share it as well. Although my house doesn't show it most of the time I do prefer a tidy and clean house. I stress over it at times and think I'm not doing a good job. I just thought this poem was a good reminder of what is important in our job as a Mom. So, if anyone still reads this blog I hope it encourages you!

Excuse This House

Some houses try to hide the fact That children shelter there,

Ours boasts it quite openly,

The signs are everywhere.

For smears are on the windows,

Little smudges on the doors

I should apologize, I guess

For toys strewn on the floor.

But I sat down with my child

And we played and laughed and read

And if the doorbell doesn't shine,

Her eyes will shine instead.

For when at times I'm forced to choose

The one job or the other,

I'd like to cook and clean and scrub,

But first I'll be a mother.
