motherhood is....

In the past 15 months I've learned a lot about what being a mom means.  Here are a couple of things off the top of my head...

Motherhood is...

seeing your child learn new things

buying nothing for yourself and tons for your child

being able to pick out your child's cry among other children

wearing spit-up clothes to work

loving the smell of your baby's breath

finding your purse in the trash...our trash can has been moved to the garage for now...

arranging your hair instead of being able to fix it

never getting tired of hearing "Mama"

cleaning poo-poo out of the bath tub...yes...it's happened several times

accepting that your house will never be clean again

open mouth kisses!!

looking like a fool just to get your child to smile for a picture

staying awake just to stare at your baby

worrying

sacrificing

loving so much your heart could burst

Motherhood will change your life forever!!!

Thanks Mom for everything you do for me!  You are truly a remarkable role model!  I love you very much!  Happy Mother's Day!!!
