Motherhood

Motherhood is drinking diet coke instead of regular, it's wishing for a crossover instead of a sports car, it's spending an extra five minutes in the shower because being separated by the shower curtain might be the only alone time you'll get that day. 

Motherhood is sleepless nights with crying babies, it's  holding back a laugh while trying to scold, it's not realizing you have yogurt on your shirt or banana in your hair until after you arrive home from running errands all day. 

Motherhood is Disney movies (sometimes the same one) five times in a day, it's feeling alone and at times insane when you're only conversation that day has been with someone who barely even speaks anything but jibberish it's keeping kiddos up past bedtime and having a living room dance party for a fun Friday night instead of going out with your friends. 

Motherhood is laughing so you don't cry, and still sometimes crying anyways. It's tears of anger or joy, frustration or love they can come at different times and sometimes they come all at once.

It's little eyes that admire you, little lips that are the sweetest to kiss, little hands that wrap around your finger and a little heart that loves you with all it has. 

Motherhood is having a full heart even on your worst days, it's loving someone more than you ever thought imaginable. Motherhood is being strong for someone else even when you don't think you have any strength left to give. It's happiness and heartbreak beyond what you thought you could handle. 

Motherhood is all of these things and more, but most importantly, 

Motherhood is a job I wouldn't give up for the world.
