A simple quote for today:

It [giving birth] was easier than having a tatoo.

Nicole Appleton

I’ve not had a tatoo so I can’t vouch for the comparison… but this quote got me to thinking about other things that labor is easier than.  If anyone can think of more, please leave a comment.

Labor is easier than:

• having a migraine for 3 full days …. every month.
• sciatica
• running a marathon (I read this one here and it was told to me by a client because I have never run a marathon…yet.)
• losing weight after labor
• keeping your mouth shut when some well-meaning individual tells you for the thousandth time… “If that were my child..”
• being a mom… though not nearly so much fun.
