Happy Mother's day to me!! (in case I forgot later)





I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
-
I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my waters were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
-
I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Pee-ed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.
-
I never held down a screaming child so that 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.
-
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it 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 someone so much. I never knew I would love being 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 that something so small could make me feel so important.
-
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.
