Motherhood

What's motherhood like?

For me, it's finding a basting brush on the floor of my car.



That purple thing, behind/under the hat? That's a bowling pin.

It's losing my temper and becoming murderously outraged while searching the entire house, car and neighborhood for a binky. Only to find not one, but two stashed in my own purse, hours later.   



This one's for you, Liz - can you find the binkies in this photo?

It's eating macaroni and cheese (from the box) directly from the pan via a big blue serving spoon.

If I add peas and corn, this counts as a nutritionally balanced meal.

It's a sock on a hand



Instead of a foot.

It's learning to choose my battles.



Eh, who cares? It's non toxic.



And enjoy the moment.

It's chaos and frustration. It's smelly and dirty. It's exhausting.

It's nothing like I expected.
