Daily Inspiration: mommyhood=insanity

I think we are most of us ready to explode, especially when our children are small and we are so weary with the demands for love and attention and the kind of service that makes you feel you should be wearing a uniform with 'mommy' embroidered over the left breast, over the heart. It's not unhappiness. It's the constancy of the load and the awesome importance of it; and it is the isolation.

~Elizabeth Berg, The Pull of the Moon

There could not be truer words after the morning we had. I'll tell you, surviving until 9 am some days feels like a miracle.
