Motherhood Is...
Pretending to sleep through your baby crying at 2am so
your husband has to get out of bed and you don’t.
Waiting in the Starbucks drive-thru for 30 minutes to get
a $5 drink because you NEED it and it’s not worth it to get your kid out of
their car seat to go inside where there’s no line…
Making a healthy lunch for your kid: Pb&J on whole
wheat, a banana, and a yogurt. Meanwhile, you eat a donut.
Driving down random country roads for an hour so your
baby sleeps for 10 minutes…
Changing from sweatpants and a T-Shirt to leggings and a
flannel and calling it “getting dressed”
Waiting all day to put your kid to bed because you’ve had
enough, but then 2 minutes after you put them to bed
you stare at pictures of them on your phone for an hour…
Walking around Target for an hour by yourself to get 3
things, because it feels like a mini vacation. Oh and you also end up buying 20
things…
Planning to be productive during naptime, but you sit on
your phone for 2 hours instead
Planning your kids outfit a week in advance, meanwhile
you throw on the same outfit you wore the day before and spray on a little
perfume…
Memorizing Frozen word for word because well, you’ve seen
it 500 times
Taking 100 photos of your kid and getting 2 that are
actually decent
Calling sleeping till 7 “sleeping in”
Calling the 5 times you walked up and down the stairs
carrying your 25 lb child your workout for the day
Putting your kid to bed an hour late because you need
them to sleep in.. Meanwhile they wake up an hour early
Hearing phantom baby cries randomly throughout the day and
having a mini panic attack each time
Getting locked out of your phone because you gave it to
your kid to play with so they would be quiet for 2 minutes
Keeping your Christmas tree up until the end of January,
because who has time to take that thing down
Driving 2 miles down the road and then remembering the 5
things you forgot to bring, turn around, get said 5 things, pull out of the
driveway and remembering 2 more things you need..
Forgetting to eat lunch but remembering Starbucks lattes
are buy one get one free… and then you drink both
Having a part time job because you need a break from your
actual job which is being a mom
Washing the same load of laundry 3 times because you keep
forgetting about it for days at a time
Squeezing 5 more diapers in the diaper genie after it’s
actually full… and then regretting it
Saying hello to your kid but forgetting to say hello to
your husband
Recording your kid while they are screaming using the
snapchat deer filter, because it sounds hilarious
Having 409840984098 pictures on your phone and they are all important so you can't delete them to make room for more pictures
But most importantly, motherhood is...
Having 409840984098 pictures on your phone and they are all important so you can't delete them to make room for more pictures

A Blessing
Rewarding
Happy
Sad
Hard
Tiring
Forever a work in progress
The most awesome experience there is and I wouldn't trade any of it for the whole darn world.
