Motherhood IS juggling.
I've heard it said that motherhood is a juggling act. Then one day, I said on my own, "Hey! This is like juggling!", as if I was the first one to think of it.
I take care of one baby, throw them up in the air, hope they stay there long enough for me to take care of the other baby, then just when I'm done with one baby the other is down again, take care of them, throw them up in the air again. Will they come down too soon? And I'll have a crash? Can they ever just float up there in the air themselves, then I can brush my teeth? Maybe they could learn to fly? Then I'll have time to read a book on how to juggle? Don't even think about picking up the 'Me' ball. Oh, here's come another ball.
But I seriously LOVE being a mom. Motherhood is truly where one can learn JOY.
I can't even imagine not knowing THIS kind of happiness...
