Yes, the title of this post is hashtag mom life or if you're musically inclined - sharp, mom life.
Mom life is hard, no joke. One of my friends just posted on Facebook that she is thinking of starting a blog for all those moms who know that life isn't perfect. It made me realize that the whole reason I started my blog is so that people would see how fun life is as a mom of twins + a toddler.
Now, my toddler is almost six and my twins are toddlers, and my blogging days are not a number for the record books. But that's how mom life is for me. It is filled with screams, changing diapers, potty training, hitting, fighting, kicking, hugging, snuggling, and I love yous.
Today is the first day of November which starts the month of Gratitude for most. Today I am grateful for my mom. Ten years ago to the date, our family was going to the funeral for my mother. She had passed away after a long battle with breast cancer. That is the only time that I have ever ridden in a limo.
I still miss my mom and this year has been especially hard. I don't know why, perhaps because I could really use her wisdom as I try to help my children learn and grow. When you get sick, who do you want, you mom. When you get hurt, who do you want, your mom. When you are sad, who do you want, your mom. And my mom isn't there.
But it hit me today, that I have three wonderful children who do want me when they get sick or hurt or scared. I am their mom. I am not perfect and will always make mistakes, but this is me.
