Both excerpts today  for Book
Beginnings: and The Friday 56 are from ‘The Little Prince’ by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
This book is an attempt to complete my challenges but again, it has been on
my tbr as well since I asked my son to read it sometime back.

The Friday 56
‘But if you come at just any time, I
shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you… One must
observe the proper rites..’

Book
Beginnings:
‘Once when I was six years old I saw a
magnificent picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature, about the
primeval forest. It was a picture of a boa constrictor in the act of swallowing
an animal.’

NaBloPoMo’s
prompt for today: What is the hardest job you’ve ever done?
This sounds familiar to another question from earlier this month and the
answer remains the same – being a mom – it is a full-time job by itself. And when you are
a mom, you are also so many things more – a volunteer
at school for various activities, a cub scout den leader, a
classroom parent, a chaperone at field trips are few of them.
But in spite of all this, or rather because of all this, being a mom is also the funnest job I can have. I do not think any other job I do brings such gratification as being a mom does. 

Some quotes about motherhood that I saw today:
“Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children.” Sam Levenson
“Mothers are basically part of a scientific experiment to prove that
sleep is not a crucial part of human life.” Author Unknown ] 
“(24/7) once you sign on to be a mother, that’s the only shift they offer.”

And I put this post as Fun of Motherhood – part 1 – since these few words are definitely not enough to explain the total joys of motherhood (though yet they might)!
