Text messages. The most common way of communicating for the modern mom these days.
The other day I was looking through a past conversation with my husband, trying to find a picture I had sent him of our daughter coloring on the walls. It was a special picture, to say the least.
Periodically I text my husband throughout the day to keep him updated on the day’s happenings whether for better or for worse.
As I was reading through our conversations, I realized that mom life is a wild and crazy adventure!
Scrolling through, I laughed…I cried… I smiled…and I recognized that these small text worthy moments are what motherhood is all about.
Daily, moms are on an emotional roller coaster. We experience emotions in waves. We have ups and downs. We have the happiest of times and then sometimes question our sanity. At the end of the day though, it seems like we always understand one thing… it is all worth it.
Texting my husband allows me to share my experiences and helps me cope with some of the craziness as we chat about how to handle the big and small things of parenting together.
I know we can’t be the only couple who has conversations about our kids. Take a look at these 15 texts that completely sum up motherhood and share them if you have also had a similar experience!
1. When getting dressed is an accomplishment.
2. When your man thinks everyone slept well, but you know the truth.
3. When you realize it’s the little things that are worth celebrating!
4. When you learn that they will find you. No matter what.
5. When silence scares you.
6. When you always seem to choose THAT cart.
7. When you appreciate a nice vacation.
8. When you feel happy to see that other people struggle too because you now realize you aren’t alone.
9. When you get to hold the “I gave birth to your children” over your husband’s head.
10. When your world consists of cartoons and play dough.
11. When you believe grocery shopping should be considered as an Olympic sport.
12. When you will do anything, even if it is painful.
13. When you learn that baby wipes have more than one purpose in life.
14. When you realize the days are long, but the years are short.
15. When you realize you have the best job in the entire world.
