Mothers, this is for you! We are all strong women who have been blessed with the privilege of being mothers. God has chosen each and every one of us to care for these children and we have taken on the task of Motherhood. Everyday that I look into my child's eyes I am overwhelmed by the love that comes over me. What an honor to be a mother! What an honor to know that God has chosen me to look after one is his most precious gifts. When I started thinking about what I wanted to write for my Mothers Day post, there where a few things that came to mind. So here it goes:

--Somebody once said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after the baby is born.
That somebody doesn't know that once you are a mother, normal is history.

--Somebody said that if you are a "good" mother, your child will turn out "good".
That somebody thinks that a child comes with directions and a guarantee.

--Somebody once said you don't need an education to be a mother.
That somebody never helped a fourth grader with their math!

--Somebody once said you can't love the fourth child as much as you love the third.
That somebody didn't have four children!

--Somebody once said you can find all of your child-rearing questions in the books.
That somebody never had a toddler shove beans up their nose or in their ears!

--Somebody once said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery.
That somebody never watched their baby walk away from them on the first day of Kindergarten or get on a plain to boot camp!

--Somebody said being a mother is boring.
That somebody never road in a car with with a teenager trying to teach them how to drive or called 911 because their child fell out of a tree.

--Somebody once said a good mother never raises their voice.
That somebody has never walked outside just in time to watch their child hit a baseball into the neighbors window.

--Somebody once said "Your mother knows you love her, you don't have to tell her".
That somebody isn't a mother!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
