Motherhood

I have a favorite notepad that touts the saying, "Motherhood Ain't for Sissies." I reread the phrase every so often when I scribble down a grocery list or reminder, but today I had to stop and laugh at its truth. In less than twenty four hours I had cleaned up throw up; wiped enough boogers to last me a year; slept in the same bed as the karate kid; wore spit up in my hair; changed 12 dirty diapers; cleaned and re-cleaned the crumbs on the floor; picked up three spilt drinks; ran five loads of laundry; kissed four different owies and heard mommy being called at least a hundred times. Nope, I thought... it sure ain't for sissies.

Then I thought-
It's a good thing I'm tough, because I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Happy Mother's Day to all the great moms out there!!
