Being a mom is hard! Whoever said it was easy, and they couldn't wait to become one, is a damn lie! OMG! They eat up all the food, they smell, they cost you everything in LIFE to care for & when it's all over, you look NOTHING like you did before giving birth to them! It's like you're a ZOMBIE trying to locate your own brain! The craziest part is when you realize you actually have to defend and advocate for the little ungrateful bugs! These little people walking around with your face! God forbid one of them ACTS like you! Oh my goodness; the world feels like it's going to end, because who needs TWO of YOU?! Are you KIDDING! I thought the mold was broken after I got here! That's the line my parents gave me, anyway.
On any given day, I SERIOUSLY contemplate getting in my car and "going to the store". There's always that opportunity for me to STAY gone! However, it's out of obligation, & dare I say it, guilt and a whole lot of love, that I don't abandon these people! Kids!? Me?! Mothering another person!? Teaching someone else right from wrong?! You couldn't have PAID ME ENOUGH to volunteer my ovaries and my uterus to such utter foolishness.
......but now that I'm all in; I'm talking 3 kids and a dog "all in"; I wouldn't change it! Not one thing!
I can't imagine my life without my kids. I don't think much about who I was before becoming their mother because they have given me so much to be thankful for. These kids have made my life SUCH a joy! Their unconditional love for me, the happiness they feel when I'm near, the effort they put into being good kids and making me proud. Yes, even through all of the things that makes me want to throat punch my children, I wouldn't give them or this life up for anything in the world! I'm everything I've ever wanted to be because of them...and that's a fact!!
~My babies would appreciate the humor in this~
