Cried because I had been on my feet for 12+ hours caring for my baby and a friend's baby.
Cried because my husband is gone and I miss him. (Shout out to all the single moms and dads because that has to be the hardest gig out there).
Cried because today brought what seemed to be endless loads of laundry and dishes.
Cried because dinner was pastrami sandwiches instead of soup and pretzel rolls.
Cried because nothing in my closet fits me the way I want it to.
Cried because my daughter still wakes up 2-4 times a night and I haven't had more than 5-6 hours of sleep at a time for nearly 8 months (and that's on a really good night).
Cried because we live in a temporary home with sheets, couches, and kitchen bowls that are not our own.
Cried because I miss the mountain air and cooler temperatures.
Today, I cried.
Cried because motherhood is magic and I am so grateful for my precious girl.
Cried because the Air Force takes such good care of us.
Cried because I have a husband who works so hard and loves us beyond words.
Cried because my body has carried a child and created a life, and that's pretty amazing.
Cried because I was able to get in some joyful movement by going on a run.
Cried because I found a blogger (immaeatthat.com) who puts into words everything that I feel about motherhood and living a fulfilling life.
Cried because I have warm pajamas and comfortable blankets to wrap myself in at the end of a long day.
Today, I cried. And it was needed and good.
