Iam the organizer of all family events.I am the shuttle bus to dance, soccer,

golf, birthday parties, lunch andmovies.

I am the house cleaner. I am the

lunch maker. I am the alarm clock.

I sweat the small stuff. I cover littlescrapes with little band-aids.

I have a bubble of a yell right undermy throat at many moments during

the day. Im jealous of others who walkcasually through the small daily stresses

with ease, anxiety free.I hate the spring, love the winter,

love the summer and hate the fall. I think joyfullyabout the beginning of summer and worry about how

long will stretch on.

I want to be cool, but not too cool. I want to bestern, but not too stern. I want to be fun, and stillmaintain my air of authority.

Im in love with the smell of my childrens hairwhen its wet. I like the smell of th eir breath as theywake up in the morning.

I am most happy when they have played so hard

they are filthy dirty and look outrageously unkempt.

I am the hero of their night terrors. I am the

superwoman of water in the middle of the night.

I am very afraid for my ch ildren.

I dont handle their bumps and bruises well. I wait,breath held, for their fevers to break. I cry for parents thathave lost their children and hold mine a little too tightly

when news breaks.

I am grateful for how they have shaped my soul.My children have helped me be more patient with thehuman condition.

I care more and love more than I ever thought

possible.

I am a mom. I love that I am a mom.

Im a bit frazzled
