Mommy, noun: informal, a female parent
Mommy! She poked me, Mommy! She won't give that back to me, Mommy! He yelled at me!
Mommie, mommey, mommee! No matter how you spell it, it still sounds the same, still means the same and still feels the same.
The journey of a mother is heartwarming, scary, funny, rewarding, trying, frustrating and expensive. It elicits pride and humility; gray hairs spew forth and wrinkles appear overnight. It can stop your heart with a scream or thud or the ring of the phone late at night. Tears, fears, headaches, chuckles, sleepless nights and very long days. It is all of these and more, but the one thing it is not, is boring.
You never know what path you'll take each day as your children influence the navigational systems of your life...join me as I take you on the crazy ride of my life with four children!
