I posted my facebook status the other day as this:
Rachael spent the day hunting 'badybugs' with Liam instead of cleaning the house and doing laundry. Totally worth it.
I got a few comments, but this one from a friend in Colorado literally brought tears to my eyes.
"choose to be where you are irreplaceable"
I really struggle with being a stay at home Mom. I constantly worry, for whatever reason, that I am not doing enough. I let the expectations of the world constantly rule my perception of self worth, instead of really remembering why I am doing what I am doing. My kids deserve a stay at home Mom who makes their lunch every day, and who tells them how wonderful they are, and will spend time hunting 'badybugs'. Being a Mom is hard. And I love it. I don't have time to work. I don't want too! I have a job that needs me, and no one else could do it as well as me! I know this because Heavenly Father sent these kids to Me.
They are mine and I am theirs.
They are mine and I am theirs.

Oh I do love this. It is hard work. I doubt myself all the time too. But I love what your friend said. So wise. I loved reading this post.
Wow, you know how to make your Mom proud. Watching you be a Mom and love your kids is one of my greatest joys. I never knew how good it would feel.
