Being a Master Mom means...
I was woken up tonight by the sound of my 3 year old sons cries and knew that most likely he had peed his bed. It is our 6th day on vacation. He made it almost the entire week without and accident so I'm very proud of him. Needless to say I still needed to deal with the situation. The first thing I did was call housekeeping for more blankets and I changed his pillow. I woke dad to help change him because of course he's crying the whole time while I'm trying to change his bed. He's upset because his comfort object (small blanket) is wet. Dad does his best to console him but my sons not having it. I take him from dad and tell dad he can go back to sleep (no argument there lol) and I take son to the bathroom with me to see me wash his Mimi. I hang Mimi up to dry and explain that he is too wet to my son who burst out in tears. I do my best to console him but it's useless. I lay him down and finally manage to get him to stop crying. At this point I had a choice like all of us moms do. Either go to bed myself or.....so here I am in Hawaii at 1am in the hotel bathroom blow drying my sons Mimi knowing that without it he will be restless which means no one will sleep well. Then handwashing his clothes and other blanket to save money on the outrageous laundry fee at the hotel. Why did I do it? That's just what moms do. Our happiness is tied into our children's happiness and I knew that my son needed his Mimi. I couldn't rest until I met that need. Will he remember it? Most likely not. Will dad thank me for it tomorrow? Definitely not. But I didn't do it for those reasons-I did it because I'm a mom and that's just what we do. The jobs no one else wants and the deeds unnoticed. That's what makes a Master Mom. This experience has Inspired a new set of posts titled. "Being a Master Mom Means..." and I will be posting everyday examples of Mommy deeds-the ones you think no one notices-I have plenty of moms in my life that give me good examples. So stay tuned. And please like and share those Mommy Deeds that ring true for you. let's give ourselves some credit-it's a tough job but we do it with love and that deserves some applause! Go Moms!
