Special Kind of Morning

A good mom is one that wakes up with you not once, not twice but three times in the middle of the night to clean up vomit, diarrhea, or any other bodily fluids that came out. A good mom is one that allows you to sleep with her even though it puts her at risk. A good mom is one that doesn't say a word when she gets thrown up on in the middle of the night. She just changes her clothes, flips the pillow over and goes back to bed. A good mom wakes up after only getting a couple of hours of sleep scrubs the mattresses, does up laundry, cleans up sick kid, calls school to report illness, locates someone to cover second shift and still manages to primp herself for a fun day of work; where she will get yelled at by grouchy old farts with a smile on her face and bags under her eyes.
