I Don't Want to Forget the Hard

I hope that I never forget the hard of motherhood.

Don't get me wrong, there are probably going to be some things I will want to forget. 

The things I don't want to forget are the hards of having littles close together or having one child that requires way more guidance than their sibling(s). 

I don't want to forget because I want to be the more experienced mom that sees the needs of younger moms. 

I don't want to forget that when a young mom says "no" to an outing, that it could simply be that she's exhausted and the thoughts of tackling an outing are just too much right now. 

I don't want to forget the feeling of being overwhelmed and overstimulated and just wanting to sit and cry because there's no other way of getting the emotions out besides investing in a punching bag for the garage.

I don't want to forget to reach out and let another mom know that she is doing a great job, because she may feel like she is failing and she needs that little bit of encouragement to keep going. 

I don't want to forget that motherhood is hard. 

I don't want to forget that motherhood is worth every bit of hard.

**Yes, this was written on a particularly hard day.
