I love moms. It's true.
Big ones.
Small ones.
Short ones.
Tall ones.
I love MY mom.
I love her mom.
I love your mom
and "your mom" jokes.
my grandma and her mom.
my mom and her mom.
my mom and her mom.
me and my mom.
Today I am feeling so lovey, if you are a mom, or plan to be, or have a mother, then I probably love you.
But mostly I love BEING a mom.
It is really
truly
without any doubt
the best.
It is HARD. They tell you it will be....but you have no idea.
Interrupted sleep....not just when they are little...but every. single. night.
The whining. The screeching. It hurts.
The reaching-into-the-(used)-toilet-to-get-out-whatever-they-dropped.
ew.
Every possible situation involving poo.
Always having someone peek in at you while you are in the shower. always.
Being sick, and really wanting a sick day, but still having to "mom".
the messes. within messes. on top of messes.
hard stuff here.

But it's even harder knowing they are growing so quickly.....so you have to make sure to enjoy
the hugs and squeezes and double wet kisses.
the silly things they say in the middle of the night
the snuggling....oh! the snuggling!
just thinking about the fact that YOU created this sweet little person.
they think you are beautiful. and cool. and the best. (and they tell you so!)
the handmade bracelets with "extra pink beads because you like pink"
pigtails. I will never stop thinking their bounce is the cutest thing in the world.
I am so happy to be a mother.
I have everything I need, in these two little people.
Happy Mothers Day Weekend!

Beautiful, Sheena. I'm usually just a lurker here - but couldn't resist piping up. Such a great post, and sentiment.
I love mom's too! I love that I have the best mom! I love being a mom! But there's nothing like watching my girls be moms! Being "mom" just gets better and better!
Happy Mothers'Day!
Beautiful post. :)
If the hospital isn't too full, I will get to have my baby on Mother's Day. It seems so appropriate.
Beautiful post! Really beautiful post.
Happy Mother's day to you Sheena!!!
And girl,I can't believe I lost your giveaway. Next time I'll be sure to join! If there is a next time,of course :-)
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that is the BEST post I've ever read. Maybe it's because I, too, feel that way about pigtails and snuggles. MOM: The hardest, dirtiest, loudest, AWESOME job ever! Happy Mother's Day!

You summed it up so beautifully, like always. And wow...you look just like your mom!
Happy Mother's Day!
This is a nice celebration of Moms. And the kids are awesome.
Just scrolled to this post after commenting on the picture of you reading to your kids in bed. REALLY love the pic of you jumping in bed with them. How cool are you?!
Oh, "and 'your mom' jokes" had me rolling. He he!
