Somebody Isn't A Mother!
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after
you've had a baby....

Somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, 'normal' is history.

Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct.

Somebody never took a three-year- old shopping.

Somebody said being a mother is boring ...

somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.

Somebody said if you're a 'good' mother, your child will 'turn out
good'.... Somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.

Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother.... somebody
never helped a fourth grader with his math.

Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the
first .... Somebody doesn't have two children.

Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery....

somebody never watched her 'baby' get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten ... or on a plane headed for military 'boot camp.'

Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married....

somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.

Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home...

.somebody never had grandchildren.

Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell
her....

Somebody isn't a mother.

Before I was a Mom


Before I Was a Mom
i never tripped over toys of forgot words to a lullaby,
i didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous,
i never thought about immunizations,

Before i was a Mom i had never been
puked on
pooped on
chewed on
peed on
i had complete control of my mind and my thoughts
i slept all night

Before i was a Mom
i never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests
or give shots,
i never looked into teary eyes and cried,
i never got gloriously happy over a simple grin,
i never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep

Before i was a Mom
i never held a sleeping baby just because i didn't want to
put them down.
i never felt my heart break into a million pieces when i
couldn't stop the hurt,
i never knew that something so small could affect my life so much,
i never knew that i could love something so much,
i never knew i would love being a Mom

Before i was a Mom
i didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body,
i didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby,
i didn't know that bond between a mother and her child,
i didn't know something so small could make me feel so
important and happy

Before i was a Mom
i had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to
make sure all was okay
i had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the
wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom

i didn't know i was capable of feeling so much, before i was a Mom
Ok Nedl, you are supposed to make me laugh not cry. Cry I don't have my daughter this year for Mothers Day and it hurts. Shes basking in the warm Florida sunshine....the little snot Smile. That  was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I even printed it out. I hope that all the Mothers out there have a Wonderful Mothers Day with their children. Cherish every second that you have with them because it hurts terribly when you don't have them around for this special day. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY ALL!  And Nedl.......THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS. It was beautiful.  Smile
