To the mamas who held us and rocked us to sleep,
to the ones who are mothering the littlest,
who are mothering the neediest, round-the-clock care,

Can I tell you a secret?

I hate it when things deviate from what I think should happen. When I work my fingers to the bone and do everything just so, and plan, and plot, and sit back and wait for perfection..just to watch it all unravel at my feet.
