Dear mom of littles {I know who you are}


I know who you are. 

The mamas who stay awake in the night worrying about their littles, wanting to go check on them while they sleep, or lying in bed listening to the breathing of your husband. 

The mamas with a newborn who haven't had more than 3 hour stretches of sleep in a while, and still get up every morning because your older kid/s need you too. 

The mamas who just sent their kids off to school for the first or the 10th time and the mamas who just went back to school themselves (either to teach or to learn) and hate that they are missing out on all of those little moments you shared this summer. 

The mamas who dread the 5:00 hour, because everything always breaks down, and it is the one hour you are expected to get something done (food on the table). 

The mamas who let their kids watch several hours of T.V. because you just couldn't entertain them any more and it either too hot, too cold or too rainy to go outside. 

The mamas who can't find the words to answer one more 'why' or 'what's that' question from their little ones. 

The mamas who need just one conversation with an adult today. 

You are the ones who make your littles' days golden. You are the ones who light up their eyes and speak to their hearts. You are the ones who pray for them and offer hugs when they are having a bad day. You are the ones who are at ground zero when all breaks loose.
