The other day was a doozy in the motherhood. Elijah, my seven-year-old, knew it.
This was our conversation in the car:
"Mom, is it hard being a mom?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't know. I've never been a mom."
"Yes, Elijah. It is. Some days are harder than others and today was a hard one. But it is the greatest job in the world and totally worth it. But it is also the hardest job in the world."
"Harder than being a navy guy who gets killed?"
Well crud. You got me. Thanks a lot kid.
Happy Memorial Day!
Thank you to all those military folks who make being a mom look easy.

Stay tuned for "Shop for Jop!" Working on that post and all the little details.
Yeah, today's been a hard mommy day for me, but I prefer it over death. Smart kid!
ReplyDeleteElijah is full of wisdom!
ReplyDeleteThis whole weekend has been a hard mommy weekend, but probably not has hard as a Navy guy's weekend. Bright boy you have there!
ReplyDeleteLeave it up to our young to put things into perspective. Wise little guy!
ReplyDeleteSomehow those kids just have a way of putting some perspective on things....don't they?
