"Mom, you are better than cake."
Coming from my child, that is a huge compliment!! He loves cake. In fact, we are making cookies (his second favorite food) and since I am letting him run the mixer, measure the flour and break the eggs, he is one happy little person.
Tomorrow he will be back at school. But for now, we are making cookies and he loves me more than cake.
Sometimes being a mom is the hardest job I have ever tackled. And I've had some tough jobs.
I do believe that anyone who tells me that motherhood is the most rewarding job in the world is telling me the complete truth.
I do believe that anyone who tells me that motherhood is the best thing is the whole world is being completely honest.
I do believe that anyone who tells me that I'll never regret giving up my life to mold another little human into existence is completely right.
I do believe that anyone who tells me that motherhood will be the most rewarding and satisfying experience is full of wisdom.
I do believe that anyone who tells me that motherhood is easy...a tip-toe trip through the tulips...is an evil liar.
No one told me while I was riding the high of being a sick pregnant woman, that I wouldn't know what it was to go to the bathroom by myself for the next several years.
No one told me that I wouldn't have a good night's sleep for years.
No one told me that I'd live on caffeine for so many days that being nervous as a tortured cat would be a normal feeling.
No one told me that I'd call car seat manufacturers bad names when I was wrestling that contraption into the truck and bumped my head on the door not once, not twice, but three times.
No one told me that my house would be a constant wreck.
No one told me that I would go to Wal Mart with my greasy hair and flip-flops and just be glad I had the presence of mind to get back home once I got there.
No one told me that I would have to teach this small person that we don't say certain words...especially at the table, in front of Granny, and heaven forbid...not at church!
No one told me that I would be so proud when my son finally potty trained that I would tell complete strangers.
No one told me that I would being sad yet relieved when my son went to school.
But most of all, no one told me that being a mom is better than cake.
Yep, I'll have to agree.
What a wonderful feeling to be better than cake!!
