Having children is one of God’s greatest blessings.
I appreciate my children so much, but I can say that I was not ready for all that comes along with having children.
Before my hubby & I had our first little one, I was so infatuated with babies & children, & I dreamed of little ones running around our house & giggling. Although my children do run around the house & giggle at times, my children are so much more labor than I ever dreamed they would be. I have truthfully said goodbye to every nice thing that I have ever owned because my children seem to have a way of ruining things. I also find food & toys in the most random locales. I noticed that the vent in my room was blowing some particularly foul smelling air the other afternoon. I got closer to the vent to smell it, & I almost lost my lunch. I smelled the other vents in the house, & they did not smell like the one in my room did. I knew that my children must have thrown something in my vent, sure enough, I found a rather big chunk of cheese in my vent along with some veggies that my children had for dinner two weeks prior. It stunk so awful that I felt sick for the rest of the afternoon. I have learned that I need to wash out my vents much more often. I appreciate my children, & I would not trade them for the world, but they are quite the handful to take care of.
