"Being a full-time mother is one of the highest-salaried jobs in any field, since the payment is pure love." ~Mildred B. Vermont *[I include grandma-hood in this quote as well!]
Mark was being set apart for his new calling last night and the Stake presidency member taking care of it asked me how I was. I thought about it, and then replied that I was the luckiest person in the world because on Sundays, I got to go to Primary and be with the children there, and during the week, I spent time with my daughter and grandkiddoes. I added though that the pay wasn't great and he immediately disagreed and told me the pay was the best ever -- which took me back to this quote.
And he was right. There's no better paying job in the world.
