If you are reading this it is either random chance or you know me or want to know me better.

A friend sent this to me (Thanks Roxxy!) and I couldn't help but think how appropriate it is...so for all the  'mothers' out there...this one is for you.

MOTHERS



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 "good" mothers never raise their voices. . .

somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf
ball through the neighbor's kitchen window.

 

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 fifth child as much as you love the first. .
...

somebody doesn't
have five children.

 

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions
in the books . . . ...

somebody never
had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.

 

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 do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied
behind her back... ...

somebody never
organized seven giggling Brownies to sell cookies.



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.
