I'm going to be very honest. Motherhood is not all rainbows and butterflies. No, I did not enjoy every moment. There are those times that shine through and over power all the less than stellar times. Like when your child says,"I love you" for the first time. That wonderful rush you get pushes the memories of walking into their bedroom at 6AM to them completely covered in poo from head to toe as well as the bed and wall.
Motherhood has brought me some of the most wonderful moments of my life. It has also brought me some of the most disgusting experiences of my life as well. I had managed to make it until motherhood without ever getting pee, poo or puke of another human on me. Within weeks of the birth of my oldest I was already desensitized to the feel of it hitting my bare skin. Only when pregnant again can I not handle a puking person.
I hope that as you read this I am sitting in my bed surrounded by blankets and pillows being served breakfast in bed. Some delicious Belgian waffles( from my new waffle maker I got from my parents for Mother's Day) topped with strawberries and whipped topping.

Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
Blessing!
Thank you! Happy Mother's Day! To all those in the village. You may not have carried a child in your body or nursed them thru illness in the late hours, but you are still a mother in heart. Thank you to my wonderful village.
