Yes. Motherhood is one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. My patience is constantly being tried. I get pooped on at least once a week. I'm so busy making sure Mariah gets enough to eat that sometimes I skip meals. I am just getting out if the "no sleep" phase. My body is just NOT what it used to be. I see my friends moving on in school or work to places where I doubt I will ever go. My idea of spontaneity is going to Wal-Mart for family night. I am in bed most days at 10:00pm. Splurging is going to a fast food restaurant. It is a successful day when I get to shower. And I only have one child!
But today I was getting Mariah out of her car seat after a church activity. Instead of being all crazy and wanting to run around in the garage, she just leaned her head on my shoulder and rubbed my hair and said, "it's ok, it's ok." It was so sweet!
I live for those little moments. Mariah is growing up to be such a caring and gentle and awesome little girl. Motherhood may be the hardest thing in life, but it reaps the greatest rewards.
