You’ve managed to reheat your coffee 3 times this morning. Seriously? You look around, and your living room floor looks like it threw up Toys R Us. Your kitchen is overflowing with dirty dishes and there are two baskets of clean clothes wrinkled in your laundry room.
You wonder if you’ll ever catch your breath, and secretly wonder if you’ll ever feel normal again after having a baby. You feel guilty for wanting your freedom back already. And then…
They grow and coo and do all sorts of cute and wonderful things. They take their first steps, they say their first word, and the first time they say I Love You, Mama… you think your heart might implode.
So for the days where your coffee gets cold, because you are so busy, or because that little creature has sucked the cells right out of your brain, please know you are doing an important work… the work of simply being Mom.
You are valued and loved by your children. They know your touch, your smell and the curves of your face. Thank you, Moms! Watch this short video, and have some tissues on hand!
This feels like my EVERY DAY lately… And lol to the line where you say it looks like Toys R Us threw up on your floor!!!!! Hahahaha. That made my day!!! Because my house looks like that ALL the time!
Sweet post. Thank you for the encouragement (;
