Being a mother

I'm not sure I'll be able to put this into words but I'll try

Today is Mother's Day. (in Ireland anyway) So while my daughter is taking a nap, and I'm on my MUCH needed break I've decided to explore what I think about being a mother.

Well I suppose the obvious is I love it! It's not always easy. God knows Amelia can push my buttons when she wants to! She's cheeky, bossy, a totally Diva... and according to my Dad she's pretty much me when I was that age :D

I think for the first few weeks of Amelia's life the main things that came out of my mouth involved my astonishment of this little person. We made her. She was part me and part my husband. That's just SO amazing. To create something so beautiful with someone you love. She's my part of my husband when he's away working. (Which he is today because mother's day is busy busy at the restaurant) I always have a part of him here at home.

Some women find lack of sleep a problem. We don't have much trouble with that unless we have teeth pushing through. Me? I, sadly, find the mess one of the hardest things about being a mother. I am a neat freak and MY GOD that girl can make a mess! I don't know what she has done to the toy box, but the poor thing keeps throwing up all over the place! I don't know how many times I tidy, clean up spills, clean the spit marks off the windows in any one day, yet, as I type this I'm smiling because I can't think of a better way to spend my day!
