The Best Part of being a Mom...

Is when it's Sunday afternoon and there are three little children asleep on their beds, one large husband asleep on his bed, and a tray of cookies ready to come out of the oven.

I love being a mom...

It's nice when no one else is awake to fight over the first tray out of the oven :)

I'm sure the smell would rouse the sleepy heads soon enough.

Unless John's really sleepy, of course.

True.

"John, buddy, do you want to get off the couch and go to bed?"

"Huh? ...Uh, yeah...good idea...zzzzz"

"John, I really think you should go to bed."

"Wha? ...let me just rest my eyes..for a bit...zzzzz"

"John! Go to bed!"

"Uhhhh...yeah I'm going..." Gets up from couch, walks into kitchen, sees a chair "Let me...just sit here...for a minute...zzzzzz"

I read a quote recently attributed to either Emerson or Thureou, I can't remember, but I liked it. It was, "There never was a child so lovely but her mother was glad to get her to sleep." I thought, so true!
