SOME THOUGHTS ON MOTHERHOOD
user
- Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal
after you've had a baby... that somebody doesn't know that
once you're a mother, "normal" is history.
- Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by
instinct... that somebody never took a three-year-old
shopping.
- Somebody said being a mother is boring... that 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"... that somebody thinks a
child comes with directions and a guarantee.
- Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their
voices... that 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...
that somebody never helped a fourth grader with his math.
- Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you
love the first... that somebody doesn't have five
children.
- Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her
child-rearing questions in the books... that 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... that 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... that somebody never organized
seven giggling Brownies to sell cookies.
- Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets
married... that 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... that somebody never had grandchildren.
- Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't
need to tell her... that somebody isn't a mother.

WOW Gerl you sure "wrote" a mouthful there and every single word of it true! This makes me miss mom immensly. I lost her just a few years ago and it's still hard sometimes to believe that she really is gone. My mom was my very best friend. I sometimes catch myself having conversations with her, especially when I'm alone in the car! Thanks for the post.
