5 on Friday - Mother's Day!

Happy Friday my friends!  Boy, oh boy, am I happy it’s the weekend over here!  It has been a rough week for us with the hubs working every.single.day this week!  Top that off with Mr. B having four allergy attacks in the last five days, a mama fighting a cold, and one random vomiting session with Tessa and I think it’s safe to say that some relaxation time is overdue.  Don’t you?

Moving on…I always have a number of topics to chat about on my five on Friday (today is no exception) but I am going to forgo the traditional list and take a moment to talk about a special day this weekend. 

 

Here's a little into how I see it... 

 Motherhood is twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.  Motherhood is many sleepless nights.  Motherhood is anxiety and worry at a level I never knew was possible.  Motherhood is dark circles under your eyes and spots from "something" that always manages to show up on your clothes.  Motherhood is putting yourself last.  Motherhood is eating a cold meal after everyone else is finished.  Motherhood is exhausting.  Motherhood is unconditional love.  Motherhood is accepting and embracing your new body.  Motherhood is being strong for little ones that are watching even when it's hard.  Motherhood is early morning smiles and late night snuggles.  Motherhood is crying after a long day.  Motherhood is sharing baths and showers because sometimes it is easier and sometimes it is just faster.  Motherhood is messy buns and sweatpants.  Motherhood is giving everything you have each and every day.  Motherhood is feeling lonely even when you are never alone.  Motherhood is overwhelming in good ways and in bad.  Motherhood is slobbery kisses and lots of hugs.  Motherhood is joy and laughter.  Motherhood is an honor and it is the best gift I have ever received.

Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there!  And to my mama;
