The Mommy Club

moms deny that such a club exists but really it does, at least to me. i was taking my daily walk around harveston lake this morning when i started thinking about the mom club. it's an unspoken sort of club but it definitely exists. i was speed walking, pushing logan up a small incline when another mom pushing her stroller going the other direction passed by. we acknowledged each other with a quick hello and a good morning like moms tend to do around here. i passed another mom a few minutes later and she asked how i was as she passed by quickly, keeping up her pace. it's not just the words though, it's how they are spoken and the look on these women's faces as they look at one another. it's an unspoken bond of understanding. of not getting enough sleep and even when you do, you don't sleep as soundly or as carefree as you used to. the messy poos, the constant worrying. of putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own because that's just what you do. of loving a little one so much you just can't describe it adequately in words. you would do anything to protect your child from the world. the look expresses an understanding of i've been there and i get it. it's a club and i feel so honored to finally be a part of it.
