Mother's Day

Jenny gave me this card that resemebles the way I look most days (except all three of these happy, beautiful kids should be girls). And on the inside it says...

They seemed like a good idea at the time, didn't they? Just Kidding!

When things get crazy and unbearable I remind myself how blessed I am to have three beautiful, healthy girls. No other job or calling did I ever dream of having, except that of a Mommy. I wouldn't trade my days spent with them for an office job or any other job. I'm rewarded more by the things they do and the things they say and my paycheck is priceless. I truly feel blessed to be called a Mother.

Here is something I found quite interesting and funny about being moms.

You Know You're a Mother When ...

You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're equal.
You have time to shave only one leg at a time.
You hide in the bathroom to be alone.
Your kid throws-up and you catch it.
Someone else's kid throws up at a party. You keep eating.
As you cling to the high moral ground on toy weapons; your child chews his toast into the shape of a gun.
You hope ketchup is a vegetable, since it's the only one your child eats.
You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into cute shapes.
You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "NOT in your good clothes!"
You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you.
You donate to charities in the hope that your child won't get that disease.
You hire a sitter because you haven't been out with your husband in ages, then spend half the night checking on the kids.
You use your own saliva to clean your child's face.
You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job", but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything".

I hope you all had a fantastic Mother's Day. Stay tuned for more on Tuesdays, SPT.
