20-ith

20) I am thankful today that I have the privilege of being a "stay-at-home" mom. There was a time I remember that I wouldn't have called it a privilege, but I see the wisdom in being here and raising my kids. I also have gained a greater sense of worth in doing that job. I am grateful to be the one who teaches, encourages, disciplines and corrects my own kids. I am grateful that I have the chance to help at their school and have worked in their classes. I am thankful to know many of their friends this way and have been able to get a sense of what is happening in their school life. Even though I seem to be rarely "home" I am available to my kids and make it a point to be home with them when they are here. Much like the army, this is toughest job I'll ever love. And I am very grateful for that.
