A definition of motherhood

Motherhood is...

Cursing every stuffed animal within 2 miles because you can't remember the last time you slept more than three hours.

And then missing her right when she finally falls asleep.

And peeking in to see if you can sneak a kiss.

But she hasn't completely settled yet. She stirs as you try to back out and close the door, and it creaks. And you curse the door and the tree it came from for almost waking her.

And then you resign yourself to rejoining your snoozing husband.

Who by the way is now deadweight sprawled across the entire bed.

And you find refuge on the couch. Since you know you'll be up again in an hour anyway.
