The Mother's Day Blog

I had every intention to write a deeply meaningful blog about motherhood this week. It was going to be about all of the sacrifice, love, and special moments of just being mom. I would have written about the lifestyle, devotion, commitment, and insanity of it all. Motherhood really is one of the greatest joys of my life. From making hair bows and setting them in freshly braided hair, to kids moving from hitting off the “T” in baseball to coach pitch, to the monotony of making yet another pizza dinner; I would have reminisced.

Me and My Mom

I would have reflected on the grace of my own mother and my immeasurable gratitude for her. She is such a dear friend, confidant, amazing cook, pursuer of God’s best, and sincerely devoted Grandma. I am so grateful for my mom. She would have been a central figure in my blog. I love her!

But, alas, I am so busy this week being a mom that I don’t have time to write my inspiring mom blog: Too much driving, cheering the kids on, attending a dance parent/student conference, cooking, cleaning the kitchen, working my jobs, helping with homework, washing that softball uniform, piano and drum lessons, sports, crafts, backyard play, staying connected to my spouse, paying bills, almost running out of gas, reading to the littles, managing my kids’ internet use and video games, and so forth. As a result, I regret my inability to blog about motherhood. I guess I will just put it off till next year. I am sure life as a working mom and wife will be simpler then! – right?

Once I get around to writing that blog I will close it with a hug to all moms out there. Moms are shaping the world day-by-day, moment-by-moment, and heart-by-heart, and I hope they are celebrated and loved this Mother’s Day.
