Did you notice the lunches packed and bagged with everyone's favorite foods, crusts cut-off sandwiches, all ready to go? She did it.
Did you notice the sink is all empty from last night, where every single bowl and plate was dirty? She did it.
Did you notice the pantry stuffed with all the foods everyone likes? She did it.
Did you notice how every appointment gets made and how everyone gets registered for everything? She did it.
Did you notice all the clutter cleared all around the house, how the toilet paper never runs out, and the clothes are always folded and put away? She did it.
Did you notice how everyone gets dressed, fed breakfast, hustled out of the house on time, into the bath, dinner, bed? She did it.
Did you notice how she knows where everything is and where everything needs to go? She did it.
Did you notice how everyone’s clothes are laid out, favorite pajamas ready for bedtime, and shoes the right size? She did it.
Did you notice her picking up the Legos off the floor so everyone won’t hurt their feet on them? She did it.
Because 𝘴𝘩𝘦 is mom, and she does everything,
and sometimes that not-noticing hurts her soul.
And she doesn't do it for praise, but she's human, and it does get to her.
It makes her feel like she doesn’t matter.
So, this is your reminder to tell her she does, and you 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦, 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦, and 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 her.
𝘈𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴.
