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 always fun
sometimes it's hard
sometimes it's lonely
sometimes it's miserable
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 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 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.
