Nothing means more to me in this mommy community then moms who are willing to get down and real about what motherhood is really like. Enjoy this post!
My favorite part was when she said she hopes one day when she is the grandma in line she can tell that young mom in front of her this:
"It's helluva hard, isn't it? You're a good mom, I can tell. And I like your kids, especially that one peeing in the corner. She's my favorite. Carry on, warrior. Six hours till bedtime." And hopefully, every once in a while, I'll add -- "Let me pick up that grocery bill for ya, sister. Go put those kids in the van and pull on up -- I'll have them bring your groceries out."
I hope I can do that too someday. I seem to however run into more "grandmas" that look at me like they don't even remotely remember what it was like to a have a 3 year old and 1 year old.
Hope you got the mommy pick me you needed today!
