Beauty

To my boys,

Today I have been thrown up on, used as a tissue, and have changed clothes three times. I have food dribbled down the front of me, my hair is pulled back in a ponytail that hasn't even been brushed today, my finger nail polish is completely chipped, and I desperately need to visit a salon to get my eyebrows waxed and my hair colored. Basically, I am looking pretty hot.

Yet, I feel beautiful. You make me feel beautiful. Your smile lights up the room when you see me. You throw your arms around my neck and tell me you love me to the moon and back infinity plus one times. You laugh at my attempt to dance.  Your little sick self rests comfortably in my arms. You tell me I look like a princess when I hide in my closet to try on a pre-baby dress.

I may not turn heads walking down the street but I couldn't feel more beautiful than just being your mommy today. Thank you for helping remind me beauty is much deeper than a good hair day and wearing eyeliner.

Love,
Your mommy
