As a mom, I've experienced a wide range of emotions. I've felt happy and sad, proud and disappointed, and sometimes I feel like I'm losing myself in the process of raising my child. But despite the challenges, being a mom is the most rewarding job I've ever had.

This is the "full" Mom POV: It is 50% physical exhaustion and 50% tactical planning. While I am still horizontal, I am running diagnostics in my head. Who has soccer practice? Did I sign the permission slip? Is there any milk, or are we having dry cereal of shame?
