Being a MOM

Why being a mom is hard -

* You pretty much have signed up to be a teacher for the rest of your life. Except the pop quizzes are on YOU.

* You get the pleasure of trying to explain to a 4 year old how the universe works when he becomes interested in planets and stars, and just how GOD plays a factor in all of this.

* You now have 2 schedules to follow, plan and remember. And yours is never as important as your childs.

* You have an extra set of body parts to keep clean.

* Sleeping in will never happen again. Either will going to bed early, or just laying in bed all day.

* You lose all control of the tv.

* Kids are very expensive.

* Your social life becomes pretty much non-existant.

* Nothing is a secret anymore.

* Alone time in the bathroom - not going to happen.


Why being a mom is worth it -

* Kisses from a sticky face.

* Watching them "get it" while explaining the universe.

* Hearing I love you, and knowing it's real.

* Face it, they are adorable.

* Funny dance parties in the living room.

* Knowing you are making a difference in their life.

* Laughter from a child - the best.

* Having a teacher tell you what a good kid you have, what a sweetheart, plus funny and a joy to have in the classroom!

Cuddling before bedtime. Even if their breathe stinks.

So very true!! I always stop and think about how hard it is and stressful and such. In the end it's all worth it and I would not change a thing!

I'm mourning this most of all....Sleeping in will never happen again. Either will going to bed early, or just laying in bed all day.
