Let's face it. I was delusional about motherhood. I had dreams of being Mother Theresa, Martha Stewart and Wonder Woman all in one. In fact, I still do.
But like a lot of dreaming mothers, I was dazed and awakened by the urgent cry of a little babe who suddenly became my own.
What was it that you needed? Was it milk? Was it to change your diaper? Was it the onset of sickness?
As a first time mother I fretted about the cryptic cries.
Thankfully, nine times out of ten I figured out what you needed but there was that occasional once that I couldn't.
Then the reality of distress and panic would come. Was this the beginning of colic? Was my baby in pain? What should I do?!
Usually a close embrace and a walk would do the trick.
But I must admit. There were times when I wished for a hug, needed to go for a walk and cry too. The reality is sometimes I still do.
Don't get me wrong. Motherhood is a dream come true but everywhere moms need a break to dream a little too!
