Three years in the making

Three years is a long time!  I am the mom to a ten year old, nine year old, seven year old and three year old.  My kids have taught me so much over the last decade.  I often think my life started when I became a mother.  There is an accountability I have learned here in my home.  In the outside world you can create any persona you wish others to believe is the real you.  When you have children they are a direct reflection of the true you, the you inside the four walls of your home.  The proof is in the pudding.  They reflect your insecurities, anxieties, perception of the world around you, and the beauty of your spirit.  They of course could reflect the ugliness of your spirit also.  I am thankful everyday for my job and the four beauties that hold me to a high standard.
