There are moments of regret…
When the evils of my humanity
eclipse my most precious task,
motherhood.
Sad, so sad.
Why will I not
just.embrace.it.all.
Stop fighting, loosen up!
They are transitioning too.
Have you forgotten?
Your uncertainty becomes their fear.
Woman, they know you.
They feel it all.
Embrace them, be their safe place.
Believe the best…
of everyone.
Laugh more.
Stop being drained…
by these gifts. Your gifts.
He’s climbing on the table?
He’s painting in wet cement?
Time to jump on some tables,
and paint in some wet cement!
Quit.taking.yourself.so.damn.seriously.
You’ll get wrinkles.
BIG ones.
You are not the woulda.coulda.shoulda kind.
Never have been, why start now?
You have the strength
but you forget…
it reaches far beyond
getting.
through.
the.
day.
Find it,
and go play.
Love you and your precious munchkins. Loves from Uncle Christy

Being an at home mom is HARD in the easiest of situations. I’m proud of you for stepping back and remembering what motherhood is about and being present in it. You are an amazing gift to your children and your hubby:)
Beautifully written….I am going to print it and put it up on my fridge to remind me to relax and have fun with the kids! I will site you of course:))
Thanks amazing women!!! It’s an ongoing battle to remember! The stresses of living here, not knowing the language, and having a place full of construction workers makes it my daily battle to stay smiling. We’re getting better at it though :)
thank you for this!!
Incredible, inspirational, beautiful heart!
