I went to a workshop on how to teach writing today. The presenter had us write about something that we knew all about. He gave us an example such as "If you're not from Texas..." or "If you're not a teacher..." We had 6 minutes to write. When we were done, I shared mine with my friend, Gina. She said I should keep it to share with my kids one day.
If You're Not a Mother of Two
If you're not a mother of two, you don't understand the emotional rollercoaster that takes you from pure joy and pride to extreme frustration and exhaustion. You don't know how to manage the balance of independence and obedience. You don't know how 1 minute you're watching the amazing sibling bond and the next, you're protecting a sibling. If you're not a mother of two, you don't know absolute and complete love.
Our Gina?
ReplyDeleteI love that after all of your years of teaching, it was motherhood that you felt like you were an expert on. You are a great mom!
