I have become stretched in ways I never thought humanly possible. Pulled in every direction, with each child pulling a limb in opposing ways. My head, all the time, spinning around them like a carousel. "Mom" is the song that plays in the background-over and over, again, from dawn to dusk.
Once the kids have gone to sleep and I'm done for the day, an amazing thing happens. I actually reshape back, into something recognizable and stable, sustained only by this brief period of quiet and stillness.
6 hours later it all begins again...

I identify myself as a mom. A mom, in and of itself requires that you are so much more. In essence, you become a doctor, artist, mediator, psychiatrist, a chef, an architect... Many women these days feel as if they have to be something other than just a mom. I define myself as a MOM.
