Being a Mom.

An e-mail came through our Cotillion from one our Moms that had just ended a frustrating day with a trip to the emergency room, asking if she can retire from being a mom. Her 3 yr old reminded her though:

"Mommy, you're not a girl. You're a mommy." That is sooooo what happens, isn't it?'

I e-mailed the following back and another Cotillion member asked me to blog it. Who am I too refuse a request like that?????

"Such wisdom from a 3 yr old!! That is something our moms never tell us. When WE become moms, the girl in us is whisked away!

To answer your question. No. You cannot retire, you cannot quit, you cannot take a vacation from it, hell, you can't even take a coffee break from it! But, in the end, believe it or not, it is ALL worth it and more. Because in the end what we really did was live a life of love.

Right now it just LOOKS like choas and mayhem, but it's just love dressed up as life."
