#mom topic

When I became a mom, I thought I was taking on one title: Mother. What I didn’t realize was how much that one short name encased a thousand smaller titles all wrapped into it.  

I dropped an entire garbage bag stuffed full of used baby clothes off at a girlfriend’s house this afternoon.  As I drove to her house, car overburdened with three kids stuffed into the back of my Honda Accord, I was taken aback by a sadness which crept inside me the closer I got to her house.  It was just used clothes.  Clothes that had filled my closets and cluttered my house and were no longer useful as my girls had grown out of all of them.
