I am a Christian woman, a wife and a stay at home mother of three young children. I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a lover. I am a secretary, a graphic and web designer, an event planner, a maid, a psychologist, a babysitter, a taxi driver, a chef, a baker, a shoulder, an ear, and a tissue. I am loved, needed, liked, respected, and appreciated. I am disliked, not needed, disrespected, unappreciated, and taken for granted. I am accounts payable and receivable, customer service and maintenance. I am strong and I am weak. I can carry two children, 5 bags of groceries, my purse, diaper bag and a backpack all while locking the car door and then unlocking the front door. I am the changer of diapers, trainer of proper potty usage, washer of hands, cleaner of little bodies, brusher of teeth, clother of children, styler of hair, doer of laundry, maker of beds, cleaner of bathrooms, getter of groceries, keeper of the calendar, and enforcer of the schedule. I am a teacher, a problem solver, and a silent partner. I am a fear chaser, a pray-er, a hand holder, a hugger, an encourager, and a mentor. I am an electrician and a plumber. I am a horsey, a mat, a chair, a pillow, a tickle monster, a princess, a building constructor, an artist, and a storyteller. I am the doctor, the nurse, and the medicine. I am the good guy, the bad guy, and the referee. I am the party planner, decorator, caterer, present buyer, gift wrapper, photographer and clean up crew.
