Everything!
Lily threw up on my new shirt!
I lost my new brooch!
I yelled at Nathan!
My curling iron burnt my hair!
Yelled at Lily!
Dishwasher’s broken!
My damn feet hurt!
“And you’re smiling because. . .”
I still love being a mom.

You said it S, except the smile is a little late in coming. Only in retrospect I can laugh at all of that.
You bet! I doubt I can smile the same moment too. End of the day, maybe.
Sounds like the story of my life…literally. LOVE!! ♥
hehehe I would lose all my hair in such mayhem 😛
beautiful ending.
One of those days…and we shouldn’t underestimate the strength it takes to keep smiling. 🙂
Oh this was super awesome! Motherhood- such a big emotion in so few words but you totally did justice with that last 2 lines.
Very true, but it’s a lovely phase of life!
Incredibly fulfilling 🙂
Those Nathans are always getting into trouble.
Nate, I actually thought of you when writing this!! 😀
I wondered how many Nathans you knew.
And yet the worst offender seems to be the curling iron!
This made me chuckle, Shailaja.
He he he. It’s just hair 😉
Nice one, Shailaja!
Thanks Susan!
Everything’s alright when you’re a parent 🙂
Truer words were never spoken 🙂
The things we moms endure for love!
And with a smile, to boot 🙂
Happens with me all the time. 🙂
I know. There are days when I just want to drop dead, am frustrated beyond belief and yet I am grateful. So grateful!
and I am smiling as moms have tons of patience.
Not all moms, Kalpana. Not all 😉
Dare I say, at times I don’t :-p
Dare I say that I feel that way too? 😉
I love this, though the last line threw me off (from the previous one). 😉 As terrible as this may sound, I am glad to leave that role for someone else who so desires it! 😉 <3
More where we come from 🙂
Wow… I guess it’s true and moms do think that way..
I certainly hope so 🙂
Wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world 🙂
Agree completely <3
Absolutely how a mom feels.. maybe even laugh about it later!
Yes indeed 🙂
