Sometimes I wake up in the morning not wanting to leave my bed because of exhaustion, I could go back to sleep and wake up three days later and maybe feel alive again.

Being a mother is hard, super fricken hard.

Its the constant battle with your toddler about where his favorite blanket is or why he can't chew on phone cords or pull the dogs tail. Its the constant battle of getting him to sit still just long enough for me to prepare dinner and him not want it because it isn't chocolate covered pizza, or not being able to use the bathroom alone because not having mom in his view every second is NOT okay....Oh and the clothes that are still sitting in the washing machine that have been rewashed 3747482 times, I'll remember they need to be put in the dryer someday...but until then, let me stop my son from trying to climb the coffee table and jump onto the couch...for the 172748 time.

But somewhere in that mess is a mom trying her best and a child who is in love with his mama. After all the madness goes away, I have a lovely little boy with a sleepy smile crawling in my lap waiting for cuddles. I am a mom and I love every god damn second of it. Yes its hard, but this boy makes it all worth it. "I'll eat you up, I love you so"
