Careworn is when your hubby is away in NYC and you are alone with the kids all day with no relief. And you realize that with out this man you'd be a pile of mush because he does so much. Even though he is only away for one night and two days you miss him because he makes life better, easier, happier, funnier.
Careworn is being tired and unable to sleep through a long night of thunderstorms and worrying that the kids will wake and be scared. They don't -they just sleep.
Careworn is tirelessly keeping your home clean and then watching it become a disaster zone within minutes.
Careworn is having to laugh when your child says embarrasing things to strangers.
Careworn is watching your children change right before your very eyes- growing taller, walking, talking, learning- and not wanting to miss a single second.
Careworn is being too tired to play and watching yourself grow old- new grey hairs, saggy boobs, wrinkles, achy back & legs.
Careworn is loving your family so much that is makes your heart, soul, body and head ache. It makes you want to cover them up like a steel blanket to protect them forever. But you just gently hold their hands and guide them with love the best you can. Always wanting to let them be free, enjoy and experience life- having them know that you are always within arms reach.
Careworn is worrying, loving, growing, learning. It can wear you thin. But every second, every smile, every tear, every laugh - it's all worth it!
