Happy Mother's Day

This is a bit early, but, since my oldest son gave me my present early since he was leaving out of state for work and my other son took me out for my Mother's Day today because he works on Sunday, and well, my daughter has already started wishing me a Happy Mother's Day since she is in Utah...here I am.

Anyway, this goes out to all the "Moms", "Mommies", "Madre's", "Mamacitas" and the soon to be...

My love to you all on this wonderful day and every day as a mother.

There is no love that can be measured as that of a mother!

~~~~~

Before I was a Mom 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.

Before I was a Mom 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 plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Spit 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 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.

Before I was a Mom

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.

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 th at 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.

And of all the love in the world, my deepest and truest and most fullfilling love goes to and comes to me from my three beautiful children!

You have made my life very fullfulling at it's very lowest and at it's best.

You are and always will be my greatest treasures!

You bring me many heartfelt smiles.
