Motherhood is a JOB!
08/20/2010
I have a JOB!
How can I hate a JOB?
It’s a hug
It’s love
It’s kisses
It’s funny antics
It’s a prayer
It’s a frown
It’s a tantrum
It’s a battle
It’s a scar
It’s grrrr
Everyday is Valentine’s Day,
Resurrection, Halloween,
Mother’s Day and Thanksgiving
Sweet, saucy, spicy or scary
That’s my JOB – Jar Of Blessings!
What is yours?

Well put! This is a bright penny!
05/17/2011 at 1:51 PM
Thank you and have a bright day!

Loved it – jar of blessings, that’s a cool way of looking at it. For me I’ve looked at it as sort of like living in a past alternate reality where I’m like looking at the what could have been thusly allowing me to experience my childhood from an entirely different perspective
05/17/2011 at 1:50 PM
That’s interesting — redreaming
As parents we can offer to our kiddos the experiences that we have missed. Blessings to you and your family.

05/06/2011 at 1:24 PM
children are designed
to replace us by any
means necessary
05/08/2011 at 11:19 AM
and we have a great influence on that — so no complaining!
Have a blessed day!

Thank you! Jar Of Blessings is lovely in so many ways

Your job is nurture, love, to be as close to Christ as any human comes, for that is a mother, and a countless myriad of things besides.
. And yet we do nothing compared to you, for mothers are the third most important person(s) to have walked the earth.
My Job is pest, reluctant student, help, and a thousand annyances and yet cause for pride, cause for joy, one who can read you and hug you and care, one who can know what you’re trying to hide and just try to help, even though you’re hiding it for my job is offspring

05/08/2011 at 11:16 AM
ahaha! You’re a naughty but loving offspring! Hugggs and blessings to you
05/06/2011 at 6:07 AM
Best job in the world! My only wish is that the material pay matched the emotional pay.
05/08/2011 at 11:14 AM
It is the best job because we got to be the CEO, leader, and yes follower too!
05/06/2011 at 3:42 AM
…It’s life!
Wonderful piece , Thank you
05/06/2011 at 5:27 AM
It is! Blessings to you
05/06/2011 at 2:39 AM
And what a great job! My most challenging. My most rewarding.

You approach motherhood the way you approach life – something valuable, worthy and full of reward. What a refreshing view of the concept JOB

That is a great poem! And motherhood certainly is a job, but I am so glad you enjoy it. I enjoy it, too.
08/25/2010 at 8:44 AM
nothing beats motherhood
it challenges our moods
i am enjoying all of it
and think that kiddos are great.
thank God for mothers like you
who brightens others too
08/24/2010 at 11:10 PM
LOL… that is my JOB, too!
Sometimes I can’t wait for my kids to grow up; sometimes I wish there were no weekends so I won’t have to deal with this “JOB” for a whole 48 hours. But when I see them all sleeping, I feel like waking them up so they can drive me crazy all over again.
08/24/2010 at 11:46 PM
ahaha!
us mommy are sometimes crazy
that our kids become dizzy
but usually it is a happy ending
it all goes to the Jar Of Blessings
08/23/2010 at 6:51 PM
It really is a wonderful job! The mixed emotions, the struggles, the happiness and everyday is a learning experience.
God bless and looking forward for more interesting and inspiring thoughts.
08/23/2010 at 9:00 PM
challenging yet rewarding
tear jerking yet heartwarming
thank you for the blessings
more than enough for all of us
08/22/2010 at 10:29 AM
Good one!
08/22/2010 at 6:06 PM
the JOB is sooo good
and overflowing

Such a true post!
08/22/2010 at 6:05 PM
when we reflect how much we are blessed,
we respond in gratefulness
08/21/2010 at 8:36 PM
I love your job! It’s mine too, though I have the added perks now of being MAMO!
08/21/2010 at 9:54 PM
we got to love it
else we’ll hate ourselves
and that’s a no no
happy MAMO
08/21/2010 at 6:23 AM
You are so right, we can’t hate our JOB . . .our jar of blessings!
That’s my job too!
08/21/2010 at 6:55 AM

so when it gets crazy
i just need to pause & pray
and remember that clay
