Motherhood lately is...
-Listening to Hamilton on repeat while cleaning messy rooms
-Finding chewed gum wads in corners and crevices
-Kissing Timmy’s cheeks a million times a day
-Reading more than the usual amount of books at naptime
-Feeling exhausted by 7:30pm
-Learning one of your children isn’t doing well in school, even when you know they are capable of it.
-Giving tons of piggy back rides up and down the stairs
-Wanting to write everything down but never finding enough (or any) time
-Singing choo-choo songs before shutting the door at night
-Watching a thousand made-up shows and concerts (and even 1 bike show)
-Loving each of my kids for completely different reasons
-Making warm soups to get us through the cooler nights
-Sneaking a piece of Halloween candy right after bedtime
-Cozying up in a fleece blanket while finishing work
-Exercising between two impatient dogs each morning
-Teaching letters to Birdie every afternoon
-Studying candidates’ positions for today’s election
-Putting the kids to bed alone several nights a week
-Drinking camomile tea just before bed to relax my body
-Hearing Maize bark starting at 3 or 4am each morning
-Feeling dead by 2pm
-Expressing love more times than I can count.
