Tina fey once said being a mom has made me so tired and so happy. I know what you're thinking out of all of the philosophical and meaningful quotes that exist on the topic of motherhood. I chose to open this book with the wise old words of Tina fey. Pretty deep stuff that quote, very much like motherhood itself, may be modest, but it is certainly powerful. It speaks truth to the soul, though we may not know Tina fey. On a personal level, we can all appreciate her successful career, built on a foundation of wholehearted honesty.

No matter how I was feeling on any given day, it was as if I was constantly reminding myself that my old life was gone forever and there was a no return policy on the life I had traded it in for before having a baby.
