Why I Love Being A Mom - MEME
I was tagged to do this - write about why I love being a mom - by a brilliant writer, blogger and friend. She runs both Nigerian Curiosity and SolomonSydelle.com. However, this meme was originally started by Genius mom blogger, Catherine; read her work at Her Bad Mother. It’s fantastic, and one of my constant reads.
I’m assuming you all know what “meme” is, right? If not, it’s some sort of cultural practice/behavior that is passed from one person to another. This is to my understanding. In any case, the goal is to get as many mothers from all over the world to share five things they love about being a mom. And here I am stating mine in no particular order and straight from the heart.
- As cliche as it may sound, I love being a mother because it’s made me who I am today. I started quite early, “a young mom” (way before any of my friends), so I had to grow up, mature, and become even more responsible. All of a sudden, this immense energy and drive came over me. And the sky became my limit - determined to reach for the stars.
- I love being a mom because it has brought me closer to God, and wanting to serve him by serving other people. I am a lot more prayerful and forgiving. More humble, mellow, and laid back. I don’t take life too seriously, nor do I take myself too seriously. It’s no longer about me. It’s about the kids. They have opened my eyes to the children of the world, and I have this sense of being “mother nature” or “mother Theresa” to all. In addition, to me, life makes more sense when you become a mother. Your perspective is different - in a positive light.
- I love being a mother because it is the single reason I get up every morning. I live for them. I enjoy spending time with my kids, seeing them act goofy, scream out of their lungs, dance, laugh, and doing what kids do best. Being free without a care in the world.
- I love being a mom (believe it or not) because it has made me a lot smarter and wiser. I have to think faster on my feet. I mean, can you beat the ‘darndest’ questions? Or their takes on why things happen the way it does? I remember one time, Sidney, with excitement, told me he figured out why/how it rains. I had him explain and he goes, well, “the moon and the sun get into a fight, the sun wins and the moon starts to cry, so it’s the moon’s tears that pours on us.”
- I love being a mom because it has taught me the true meaning of love. Unconditional love. And knowing that my kids love me unconditionally is just priceless. It’s the most fulfilling feeling in the world. And it doesn’t hurt that they make me love their father even more…*smiles*
And here is a bonus: I love being a mother because, finally, I can yell out to one of them (in the other room) to come and get me the remote, which by the way, was/is right next to me..lol.
Dolls, let’s keep the tradition going. Feel free to write yours and tag me. Leave a comment, tell my why you love being a mom.
Make it a fab weekend as always!
