Why Moms ROCK!!!!

Read this today on a great Mom Blogging site (modified it a little bit)…
1) Because we never thought that “doing it all” would mean doing this much. But we do do it all — and then some.
2) Because we’ve discovered patience we never knew we had.
3) Because we are willing to do something 10 times, 100 times or 1,000 times if that’s what it takes for our kids to learn something new.
4) Because we have bad days and breakdowns and bawl-fests, and then we pick ourselves up and keep right on going.
5) Because we manage to get ourselves together and get out the door looking pretty damn good. Heck, we even make sweatpants look good!
6) Because we are strong. Man, are we strong. Who knew we could be this strong?
7) Because we aren’t just moms, wives, cooks, cleaners, chauffeurs and women who work. We are moms, wives, cooks, cleaners, chauffeurs, women who work, physical therapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, researchers, nurses, coaches and cheerleaders. Whew!
8) Because we work overtime every single day.
9) Because we also worry overtime, but we work it through. Or we eat chocolate or Chewy Lemonheads (my FAV) (which aren’t reimbursable by insurance as mental-health necessities, but should be).
10) Because we never stop pushing for our kids.
11) Because we never stop hoping for them, either.
12) Because just when it seems like things are going OK, they’re suddenly not OK, but we deal. Somehow, we always deal — even when it seems like our heads or hearts might explode.
13) Because … well, you tell me.
