my adorable little co-workers

Being a stay at home mom is pretty much the only job I can think of where it is socially unacceptable to complain about your co-workers. I love my children a ridiculous amount. I like who they are growing to be. Having all three of my kids with me on any given afternoon warms my heart. There are even those magical days when no one spills the milk at breakfast, everyone naps simultaneously and we all sit down to a Bible story after dinner with smiles on our faces. The thing is - these adorable little co-workers are with me 24/7. And there are the other days. The days when everyone wakes up whining, naptime involves more yelling than resting and the kids are sent up to brush their teeth for bed at 6:30 because I can't listen to a minute more of the fighting. On those days, it would be nice to stand around a water cooler and vent to someone. I clearly don't love them any less on those other days. I'm just ready for bedtime a lot earlier. So I'm super thankful for my friends who are REAL moms... who I can call/text/facebook and say something without worrying even for a minute that they think I'm any less of a mom.
