When my siblings and I were growing up, my mom made being a mother look so easy. It appeared she was able to accomplish a variety of tasks in little time. Why does it take me three wash cycles in three days for the same load? 🤔🤔
Motherhood is selfless. Self…..less, lol.
I remember sitting at the baby shower given for me when I was expecting my oldest son. One of my guests said, “You will never sleep in again…..never….ever!” I chuckled, not realizing those words would hold so much truth almost 8 years later.
Anyone who knows me know I do not like to engage in conversation before 10:00 a.m, because I am busy daydreaming about the sleep I am missing. For the thousandth time this year, I have seriously considered “quitting” my “home job” and getting a “real one”!!!That’s how selfless motherhood really is, lol.
Only other stay-at-home mothers understand this great sacrifice and how challenging the job is! I do not care what those CEOs and CFOs tell you. This is the most difficult job on earth!!
One thing is for sure, I am not my mother. It takes me a “teeny bit” longer to get things organized at my house. For example, I do not ever completely wash, dry, fold and put away ALL of my laundry, which seems to be my greatest challenge with having a large family. Also, my mom would go to bed after us each night and rise before us every morning to pray and get ready for work. I may not be as enthusiastic about getting up or putting away the clothes like my mom, but I do pray that I have the same wisdom, dedication, and love for my children that my mom has for me and my siblings.
My children love me no matter what and they often say the sweetest little things. My oldest son is very attentive and when things get a little crazy around here, as they sometimes do, he asks me, “Mommy, are you good?” Sometimes I answer him and sometimes I am left speechless. Today, I responded, “Yes, son I am better than good, I’m great because you are apart of my life!”
I thank God for blessing me with my fantastic five. They make motherhood an adventure!
