Sated

You know how, when you eat too much, your stomach hurts because it is so full? Well, if you will indulge me for a moment on this overly sappy and wildly cliché observation from tonight....

I got home from work after the kids were in bed tonight. They were still awake, though, so I went in to say good night to each of them, and when Elder Child said he loved me and missed me, and Younger Child asked me to sit with him for a few minutes, my heart was so full that it hurt.

Yeah, yeah, I know--far from the most original thought on earth, but I just wanted to capture the feeling for posterity. So there you have it. Being a mom is like having indigestion.
