BONUS-DAILY BREAD SHARE OF THE DAY
What Every Mom Needs
I can remember the moment I faced my neediness as a mom. While I’d certainly seen glimpses of my soul holes in the earliest moments of mothering, it was in this moment that the reality of my needs came crashing in. I was washing—yet again—my toddler’s sheets after she awoke from her nap and I discovered them wet. I balled up the bedding and trundled it down to the washer in our basement where, in an out-of-body moment, I watched detergent spiraling in an arc out of its box above my head. As my eyes followed the swirl of white powder, I realized the box was attached to a hand, and the hand to an arm: mine. I was hurling detergent around my basement. Without even realizing it, I’d lost control of myself. One chief question emerged in my consciousness: Why do I have to have all the answers? Why can’t I ever ask the questions?
