Before heading off to bed tonight I did my usual peek on the kids to make sure they were safe, sound and had their covers on...all of a sudden I hear the dreaded,Mom? Trying to hide my irritation that one of them was still awake and needed something from me...trying to forget that I was actually getting to bed early enough that I could get in a couple of episodes on Netflix...but no...one of them needed something...Me,Yeah D? Whats the matter? Why are you still awake? D, I am having trouble falling asleep. Would you rub my back? My thoughts... Ah jeez, how long is this going to take? Why cant I just get one night off... I said,Yes, sure. I think he could sense my irritation, Mom, do you sometimes hate being a mom? Another moment for me...I sat on his bed riddled w/ guilt for my thoughts of annoyance 10 seconds prior. Me,No D, of course not. I love being a mom. Its the best thing I have ever done in my entire life. D, But dont you get tired of it? Kaya, Aspen and I always need you for something...even dad needs you...you must hate that. Me, No...I love that you all need me. I do get tired and I never want you to think its because I dont love being a mom...if I seem irritated its because I do get tired sometimes...tired of laundry, cleaning, cooking...and you know how my back hurts sometimes...but never tired of being a mom...its hard to explain until you have kids...I do all I do even though sometimes its hard because I love you so much...When you are a parent you do everything in your life for your kids...one day you will understand that love. D, I get it. Me,You do? Good. D,I love you like that mom. 😢😌
