Cheryl got this picture from a Red Hat member and I liked it enough to post it today and let all of you know how I feel about you.

Not much to tell today so this will be very short. It has been raining and snowing here and today looks like more of the same. Cheryl has just left to go to work and will be gone all day so I can get a decent nap in for a change. Tonight we are having a group of people over for Family Home Evening and are having a pizza party. Yum, yum.

Hope this finds all of you well and happy. Keep in touch.

Being a Mother

Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a
baby.
Somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "Normal," is history.

Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct...
Somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.

Somebody said being a mother is boring ...
Somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.

Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your child will "turn out good."
Somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.

Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices....
Somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf
ball through the neighbor's kitchen window.

Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother.
Somebody never helped a fourth grader with her math.

Somebody said you can’t love the fifth child as much as you love the first.
Somebody doesn't have five children.

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions
in the books.
Somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.

Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery ...
Somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of
kindergarten...or on a plane headed for military "boot camp."

Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied
behind her back.
Somebody never organized four giggling Brownies to sell cookies.

Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married....
Somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a
mother's heartstrings.

Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home....
Somebody never had grandchildren.

Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her.
Somebody isn't a mother.

Someone sent me this picture and I thought it was good enough to share. If I am repeating myself with some of my blogging I apologize and blame it on Cheryl.:)


Have a nice day everyone.

I am going to steal the mother story and email it to my daughter, a new mother.

some folks also say that children should eat what's infront of them. they've not been a mother whose child would promptly regurgitate and upchuck foods he didn't like....glad those years are over.

hope you have a wonderful week, irishman.
