As I sit here tonight after an especially rough "mom" day.... I think of my little men tuck in bed sleeping soundly and I cry.
They are worth the helpless feeling I have almost become accustomed too.
You see, motherhood is a tough honor.
It comes with no definitive answers or instruction manual.
And, for a woman who likes knowing the end from the beginning, the task of raising my precious little ones without an answer key often seems down right overwhelming.
Don't get me wrong....
I LOVE being a mother....
and I waited along time to be chosen to be one.
I just feel so under qualified.
I am humbled by their birth mothers faith in me as a mother.
I want to do right by them and by K and I.
But I often feel that I am falling short.
I would give anything for my babies and their birth mothers...
I just hope I can become equal to the faith they placed in me.

Perfect description of what it feels like to be a mom!
Misty, I think it's a common feeling for mothers. I feel that way a LOT. You are a great mom!
Next time you have a day like that, before you go to bed, think about three good things you did that day. Those good things tend to get forgotten or overlooked, and they're so important to focus on!
I hope today is a better day.
Misty! I have watched you be a mother and I have to say that you rock! I also have days like the ones you talk about.
And I know that when I say a little pray in my heart I get a peaceful feeling. And I think thats my heavenly father telling me that I am doing fine and if i ever need him he is there!
Well put. Motherhood is the hardest and best thing one can do!
