Today, may you be free to feel all the feelings that Mother's Day brings.
May you wake to the sounds of harmony, or at the least only quiet bickering.
May you sit on a dry toilet seat.
May there be toilet paper on the roll, or at least a little scrap left behind on the tube.
May no one scream, "MOOOOOOM" in a way that makes you grind your teeth to nubs.
May you be filled with contentment if your nest is less full than you had hoped.
May you remember that children are a blessing if your nest is more full than you planned.
May you know that it's just a day if you feel overwhelmed OR underwhelmed.
May no one call you the worst mother ever and if they do may it roll off your back (and not be true).
May no one chew their food too loudly, touch you too much, or point to your mustache.
May you receive a hug or two or three and kisses that aren't too wet.
May you know that all the sacrifices, big and small, are always worth it.
May you know that there will be an end to dirty dishes and laundry. In heaven.
May you know that the children you have are yours by design because you are the best choice.
May you climb into bed tonight knowing you are loved into exhaustion.
May you rest in His peace.
May you rise tomorrow morning and do it all over again.
This is beautiful!
