 today is our day

a day to be appreciated

a day to be acknowledged

a day to not have to do everything

a day for breakfast in bed or dinner out

a day of silly handmade gifts that bring tears to your eyes

a day of hugs and kisses
 it's not easy

it's not always fun

sometimes it's hard

sometimes it's lonely

sometimes it's miserable
 sometimes it's perfect

sometimes it's organized

sometimes it's so cute you can't stand it

sometimes it's fullfilling

sometimes it's rewarding

sometimes it's amazing
 some days i am thrilled with my role

some days i can't imagine leaving my babies

some days i want to be nowhere but here

some days i have to escape the minute the cavalry arrives

some days i turn on the tv and let it parent

some days i spend on the phone, just to talk to another adult


all days are full of love

all days have some joy

all days are blessed

all days are reminders of the gifts i have been given

through all the work, misery, pain and suffering is this incredible reality that these boys are my life. my true life.

happy mother's day to me. i am thankful to be a mom.
