Tired is an understatement

Ask any mother what her biggest complaint is
It's that we are tired
Not sleepy like children
But bone crushingly, want to curl up in our bed and sleep forever tired
Why???
I get a decent amount of sleep each night
Oh yeah it's because I have kids
Kids just suck the life out of you
From the minute I wake up I do not stop
Someone always needs me to do something, to fix something, to help, to heal
That constant needy feeling....that's the reason I'm tired
Every ounce of energy is sucked right out of me from the moment I wake up until the moment I fall asleep
But as much as that exhausted feeling stinks
I wouldn't change it
I accept it
This is the badge of motherhood
Being tired is an understatement
I will take wiping noses, doing Laundry and unexpected hugs and kisses
And with each sleepy step I take... my heart is full because I created this tiredness with each sweet baby we brought home from the hospital
I am so very lucky to be so tired
