The best part of that is that I totally didn't realize it.

M is for Mother

Motherhood is more than carrying a child in your womb for 9 months. Motherhood is more than daily wiping of noses, cleaning of faces, filling of bellies. Motherhood is more than driving, shopping, cleaning, cooking. Motherhood is part of being a Woman, but not all of it. It is part of growing up, for some of us. It is conducive to gaining appreciation, but not for everyone. I was still a child myself, really, when I became a Mother. Joshua and I did a lot of growing up together. We both learned a lot about sacrifice. I learned how to say good-bye to him in the morning, he learned that separation from Mother wasn't such a bad thing after all. Especially since he got to go to Grandma's house (which, sorry Disney, was the happiest place on earth). I learned I could love someone until my heart might burst and be completely enraged at the same time. He learned that the wrinkling of my forehead was not a good sign for anyone.

Resolving

My husband and I decided we need to make a plan.  Actually, 4 plans.  And, actually - if I'm being honest - it was really my idea and he's just coming along for the ride because that's how it usually goes.  And I'm not sure that sounds quite like what I mean.  But, I digress.

It seems to have the concept mastered. ~ How is it that dinner takes an hour to make and 5 minutes to eat? ~ Did the laundry teach the dishes how to multiply and replenish too?? ~ In what way is using plastic cups and paper plates more sensible? ~ What is it about cooking outside that makes things taste better? ~ How come I have a cupboard full of food and nothing to eat? ~ Just how does my mom's voice come out of my own mouth? ~ How come boys have no problem 'going' in the shower, but are grossed out by cleaning the toilet? ~ Where did that ...
