You see those shirts for sale that say "I didn't choose the thug life the thug life chose me" Or "mom life the best life" and you get the picture. The mom life. It's different for everyone because well kids are all different. Even our own kids differ from each other and creates a unique enviroment for everyone. Society has pushed so many pictures and DIYs and outings that moms should do that it just creates more stress for us moms. For instance, this year my girls are older now they can choose what they want, more or less. In the past years for holidays at daycare I have always done homemade gifts for every student and every teacher. This year we went the night before and grabbed cards and a gift for just their specific teacher. The next day I felt bad. I felt like I had failed because society pushes on us to do cute juices that say " You're my main squeeze" and getting cuties saying " you are such a cutie". I couldn't even get the right size of plates for my daughters party. IT is what it is though. I let the pressures of this world bog me down where I began to doubt my ability to be a mom and a wife. And the reality of it all Mom Life got me. The good news is God is bigger. He knew what he was doing when he made me a momma at 21. The age that many feel that life begins and they can be free I was delivering a baby kissing my singlehood of just my husband and I goodbye. But that has been the best kiss ever. Being a momma of 2 beautiful girls and 1 naval orange my life means so much. Sure I wipe bottoms, makes lunches, cook dinners, do laundry most of my time these beings depend on me. That is what makes Mom Life worth it. The beings we have to take care of. So this post might not mean anything to anyone but it was a nice reminder that i am not doing any of this for me. I am doing this for those that depend on me. That make it worth it. And the Once that created those that are worth it is the One that is going to give me strength from day to day to make it. Even if we have to fake it til we make it, we will get through this!
much love
