Would you take this job?

Work 24 hours a day 7 days a week. No vacation time. Very little sleep. Flexibility a must; ability to relinquish all control a necessity. Must be willing to clean snotty noses with bare hands; will get poop on yourself despite best efforts to contrary. Home cooked meals required but not appreciated. Nothing you do will ever be good enough. If anything goes wrong you will always get the blame. Daddy will become the favorite. Worry will never end. You will lose some of your sanity; you will develop a vivid imagination but will only imagine potential disasters and drama, never anything positive. You can't ever quit. Pay: none. Rewards: hugs, kisses, smiles that light up the face, and an occasional "I love you"- all of which are likely to cause your heart to burst in your chest, but at least you will die with a smile on your face.

Even with all of that--I'd take it in a heartbeat, especially after reading Things I want to remember, parts 1 and 2! Plus, how could you not take that job when my gorgeous, smart, silly flower girl stole the show as much as the bride and groom and caused EVERYONE to fall in love with her? ;)
