Isn't It Great to Be a Mom?!?!

I have said before that my greatest joy is being a mom. I am so blessed to be able to have two wonderful, fun healthy children to enrich my life and make my world a better place. I also must say that I have the greatest mom there is, who is so selfless and loving. Always makes sure everyone of my sisters and I have a date with our husbands regularly by babysitting and helping us out 150%. My mom has a wonderful example to follow also in my Grandma! My grandma is the same way and very tender and loving. I have to say that my mother in law is absolutely the best mom too. I truly don't know what I would do without her. I am surrounded by the best of the best.

I know so many wonderful mom's, and everyone single one of you reading right now, has a quality as a mom that I love and hope to emulate.

There are so many mom's that touch my life daily.
I HAVE HAD QUITE A RIDE SO FAR! A FEW MEMORIES I HAVE OF GREAT TIMES AS A MOM...in a slide show.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU!

Thank you for your influence and example to me by being such great mom's!!

Before I was a Mom,

I never tripped over toys
or 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 her/him 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.
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 that 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.
