Finding the love of my life taught me to believe in possibility, fairy dust, and magic. Having children with said love has brought me right back into reality where snotty noses and temper tantrums rule the day. I live in NYC and find myself comparing my motherhood to the "happy" mothers of Manhattan unnecessarily. We are all in the same boat. It is time for me to embrace the UWS mother I am. It's time to tell the truth, how uncool I think it might be.
