Being a mom to young kids is a weird time in life. It's a time when you're kind of lonely, but never really alone. Where you find yourself way less showered than you'd ever care to admit. And when you'd do some pretty unmentionable things just to get a few more moments of sleep.
Being a mom to young kids is a weird time in life. Where phrases like "we go pee and poop in the potty", "you have to wear pants", "that doesn't go in your mouth", "please calm down", and "what do we say?" spill out of your mouth like honey. Where you're way more likely to have a dang Disney or toy song stuck in your head than anything found on the 100 charts. And when you get to do any task in increments, between the of bottles, tantrums, playing, cleaning, and sweet cuddles.
Being a mom to young kids is a weird time in life. It's having more black leggings and comfy t-shirts than trendy blouses. It's constantly hearing "Can I go?" or a banshee scream as soon as you put on a pair of jeans. It's having a purse of less things for yourself and double the stuff for them -diapers, wipes, extra clothes, snacks, and...oh yeah, my wallet. It's having a pile of laundry the stares into you soul every day, and that being the clean pile. It's seeing every room full of toys like a robber just tore through the house.
Being a mom to young kids is a weird time in life. Where you're always exhausted and a little out of it. Where your patience is tested to the max daily, hourly, and maybe even by the minute. Where you learn how to do EVERYTHING one-handed. Where your whole world is run by a little human that you can barely even understand.
Being a mom to young kids is the best. Where you try to take note of every detail, every first, every last, every smile, every roll, every giggle, and every chunky roll. When you doubt every move. When you simultaneously feel relieved yet tortured when you finally get time alone. Where you'll feel so much love that you could cry just at the sight of them.
