Why did i become a mom?

I ask myself this question when the boys have driven me to the brink of exhaustion, when i am not to sure how much more of "mom....mom.....MOMMA" "ouch, stop hitting me" "MOM Rohan's spitting" "No you STOP" I can take. They always make me smile. I never knew if i would be a mom, not that i didn't want to be, truth be told, i didn't really know HOW to be a mom. It wasn't until i had Aragorn and REALLY until i had Rohan that i understood. No one knows HOW to be a mom. There is no test you can take, no book you can read, and no one you can talk to that will prepare you for your first projectile vomit experience, or your first up all night, literally no sleep with a sick child experience. But there is also nothing that can prepare you for your first "i Love you" or your first "That's my kid" moment. Now that i am a mom, i can appreciate my mom a whole lot more. I understand now she didn't know what she was doing either, but she did it DAMN well!! I am glad that she is her for my boys, to experience all the fun, all over again. I think she's getting off easy though, she was of no help on that projectile vomiting incident......I'm just saying!!

So i guess when i ask myself "why did i become a mom? I can say this is why!!
