Motherhood - Why do we keep doing it?

I've got 5 kids over here right now. One 4 year old, one 3 year old, and 3 2 year olds. Yeah, pretty crazy. I started thinking about how I got here. Why in the world did I ever have kids? They are messy, bratty, poopy, snippy, and constantly break things. I've been on 24 hour damage control for the past 4.5 years. But, when it all comes down do it, I love these kids. More than life itself. I would do anything for them. Which is why I continue to plod through the monotonous days of daily parenting. For them. Because they deserve it and because they are worth it. But seriously, if someone would have told me what it was really going to be like. What being a mother really means, I honestly don't know if I would have taken the plunge. Perhaps that's why Heavenly Father blesses us with a certain about of naivete and amnesia. You know what I mean. When you are in the middle of pushing a kid out in labor and scream, "I'm never doing this again!" But lo and behold, there you are 2 years later in the same hospital pushing out another one. Selective anmesia is a very real tool for Heavenly Father. So while I whine and complain about my kids, and while I pine away for the days of sleeping in and carefree living, I look at their faces and think, "I would do it over again just to have you in my life." That's the truth about motherhood.
