Being Mom...A day in The Life.

since mother's day is upon us..I figured what better way than to describe the "fun" and "never ending" wild adventures of being a mom.

Mom. Such a job. 

If you have children, grown or still little, 

then you know all to well the fantastic struggles that ensue. 

Add being a wife and the job becomes a 40 hour week

times..a thousand. No longer are you free to enjoy even a moment alone.

No longer can you enjoy a nice relaxing sit down, in the recliner

after a long day. Sixty pounds combined climb on your lap and begin to use

your legs as a trampoline. Gone are the days that you can use the restroom in peace. 

Tiny feet at the door, calling: "Mommy are you done? What are you doing in there by yourself?"

The days of sitting and watching a movie, able to hear every word; now I fight to find a angle

to where I can even see the TV, much less hear what is said. 

Even at night when I think I may actually get a second alone

reality plays a sick, cruel joke as tiny hands pull on my skin, trying and failing at climbing atop my huge mattress. "Mommy can I lay with you? I not fall asleep, I be real still." I roll my eyes and sit up

I gently pick one up as the other begins to wake and join along. 

They will only be little for a little while, so like many nights before

I smile as they lay between me and their dad. All smiles and laughs as they 

accept their new bed. They know exactly what they are doing. Such little turds!

I love them so. They are hilarious. I envy the nights of being able to breath when I sleep, but now my nose is blocked by a pair of chunky legs, and my hair is constantly pulled

as she says that she cant sleep without playing with mommy's hair. In the end I smile because they are precious

and they are my loves. I would give them my very lungs if they needed. 

Mom. Such a job. Such a wonderful thing.

6 hours of labor for one, 14 and 1/2 for the last. Both absolutely perfect

The greatest achievement of my life, my saving grace. 

Being Mom..A day in The Life...One of the best experiences I have ever had

God's perfect reminder that I am exactly what he wanted to be...

A Mom!

Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely mother's out there

I hope you reach out to your mother and remind her of these very things. 

You may have once been hard and took time to get used to,

but God gave you to her to show her what Love Is! <3

So beautiful.... being a mom is not an experience that I've been able to have yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

[Hayllie]

If and when that time happens for you don't rush it. Enjoy all the experiances from the pregnancy to the young children stage. It is such a wounderful experiance

[Light and ashes]

Thank you so much...I will.

[Neville]

this took me way back in time... so I thank you for that

[Hayllie]

Thank you so much

Beautiful, and injected with so much personality. I lost my mother some time ago, so this was especially endearing to me. We often forget that mom is a person too... though, she is one of the first super heroes we come to know. I'm sure they are more than appreciative of you, even if they can't find the words for it just yet. Happy Mother's day to you. Lovely write.

[Hayllie]

I am so sorry for your loss bt thank you! I don't feel much like a superhero bt to them I am

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

This is so special. You write with such humour candour and honesty.
I love it
Happy mothers day xx

[Hayllie]

Awe thank you! I guess it's easier to write about the "joys" of being mom because there is never a dull moment at my house lol

[Julie McCarthy (juliespenhere)]

Yes I recall those memories and miss them

[Hayllie]

I enjoy them now because they will only be little for so long and then they grow and leave
