My good: Being confided in and needed by my adult kids.
My hard: Letting go….and trusting that God will keep my adult kids and praying they keep themselves in Him.
My unexpected: The empty nest that can be very full and satisfying if I am settled and content in Jesus.

Small meaningful moments like this- when my 5 year old daughter asks me a question and I answer, and her reply is, “wow mom, you really DO know everything!” Or when my 3 year old son says to me,”mom, I just wish I could marry you cause I love you soooo much.” Lol
My Hard: practicing what I preach down to the littlest thing ’cause as a stay-at-home mom my kids are ALWAYS watching!!
My unexpected: I never thought I would ask my husband if he could make it possible for me to shower and take a poop all by myself on Mother’s Day! No gifts needed… Those two “luxuries” would be enough!! Lol…and sorry for being a tad graphic but I think other moms will completely relate!
