I gotta say, being a mom is pretty darn great.  Along with those wonderful tantrums, the frequent anxiety attacks caused by babies diving off furniture, or foreign objects being steered into tiny mouths (or noses), there are spontaneous grins, joyful contagious giggles and those peaceful angelic faces as they snooze quietly after a long loud day. 

Without even trying, motherhood teaches you that life flies by.  Each time you blink, your little ones are bigger, faster, and exposing you to new challenges you never imagined would turn up in your life.  Who ever thought throwing away something would be reason to celebrate?  Or timing it just right so that the pink blur whizzing by can be scooped up and have your underwear removed from its grasp before exposing her findings to company.  Or over-excitedly pointing out a jar of pickles on the right so that those sharp eyes don’t notice the other kid with the cotton candy passing by on the left.  And once they learn to talk, making sure you distract them before they ask a little too loudly why that guy has makeup on and then having to explain that it’s really a lady.  It’s all really worth it, I promise.  Gray hair can be covered with dye, after all.
