Breakaway

I look out of the window as I rub my baby boy’s back. I’d just gotten him to sleep after spending a long day with him and his brother. It’s finally quiet. I close my eyes and let out a sigh. Being a mom is so different than I imagined. Motherhood is glamourized and no one really talks about how difficult it can actually be. Although there are amazingly blissful days with my boys, there’s also the exhausting days. And my boys are more than worth it.
