Sometimes,  being a mom

means you have to endure the kind of pain

that only unconditional love can make bearable

 

Sometimes, being a mom

means you make the ultimate sacrifice

and put your children’s needs before your own.

 

Sometimes, being a mom

means you smile and endure

when what you really want to do is cry

and run away

 

And sometimes, being a mom

means you “accidentally” discover your 2nd grader’s recorder in the garbage disposal

and then “accidentally” set the remains on fire,

and then “accidentally” dump the ashes in Siberia

and then “coincidentally” buy him that dangerous skateboard he’s been hounding you about

Yep.
Motherhood means sacrifice.

If you’re a sucker.
