Because reality is funny and every mom needs a laugh, here’s what a mom’s Valentine’s Day really looks like. My GIFs to you…

5 a.m. When your kids wake up early for no reason.

7 a.m. When you’ve fed and clothed everyone but yourself.

7:15 a.m. When you finally look in the mirror.

8 a.m. When your spouse leaves for work forgetting it’s Valentine’s Day.

11 a.m. When you realize you’re covered in glitter and stickers and haven’t spoken to an adult in hours.

12:30 p.m. When you finally get everyone down for nap.

12:45 p.m. When you realize no one is going to nap.

6:00 p.m. When you can’t make yourself cook dinner and your spouse walks in with pizza and wine and chocolates from Walgreens.

7:00 p.m. When your children give you the handmade card they were working on all day as they climb into bed.

7:30 p.m. When others are fine dining and you’re on the couch with your spouse watching The Crown and eating all the chocolates.
