Mom Pov Full May 2026

Tomorrow, the alarm will go off again. I will step on another LEGO. I will wipe another counter. I will lose my patience and apologize and lose it again.

We get home. The house looks like a tornado hit a toy store. I start unpacking backpacks. Inside one backpack, I find: a half-eaten apple, a permission slip due yesterday, a wet swimsuit, and a rock. Just a rock. Why is there always a rock?

I pour a glass of wine that costs $12. I sit on the couch. The house is quiet. And in that quiet, something strange happens. I look at the family photos on the wall. I see the baby laughs. I see the first day of school. I see the vacation where we all got food poisoning but still tried to smile at the beach. Tomorrow, the alarm will go off again
