Is it Wednesday?

I remember coming across people occasionally that would say "Is it Wednesday or Thursday?". I would think how can you not know what day it is. Is your life really so mundane and without purpose that you can't keep up with what day of the week it is?!?!?  Well judge not! I am now one of those people.

I am a stay-at-home mother of a 7 1/2 month old. Not only can I not tell what day of the week it is, at times I have trouble remembering what month it is. I answer this quandary by taking my child's age and counting forward. I was disgusted (yes disgusted) by those mothers who's life centered around their child. I say again, judge not!

 I miss having a career, I miss my tight, tone, size one body, perfectly painted toenails, 4inch heels, and big gaudy earnings. That being said, I am OK with it. Motherhood is a whole new world, an exclusive club that many belong to but few speak truthfully about. It is magic at all times. It is hell at all times.  Even in the joyous times with your beloved pooping, spitting, crying bundle, there are fleeting second that you look at the child and think, "will you be in prison or president". Then you say a quick prayer (parenthood will make an avid prayer out of you) and ask for him to just be somewhere in the middle. 

If you are asking, "What is the point to this post?" There is no point. Just felt like I needed to see these words in print. They are a reminder to me, on a bad day, why I am doing what I am doing. The reason.....to be the best Mom that I can be. At the end of the day, I have this little boy that looks at me with trust in his eyes. In my book that is worth not knowing what day of the week it is!
