To all you wonderful mothers

[polar bear]

I don't think mothers are given the credit they deserve. There is no monetary value that can be placed on a mother who truly cares for her children.So here is a heartfelt thanks to all of you who have done this.

"When your mother asks,'Do you want a piece of advice'?, It is a mere formality.

It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no.

You're going to get it anyway."

THINGS I LEARNED FROM MY MOTHER

Do you remember any of these??

1.My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE: "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning!"

2. My mother taught me RELIGION. "You had better pray that comes out of the carpet!"

3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL. "If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!"

4. My mother taught me LOGIC. "Because I said so, that's why."

5. My mother taught me MORE LOGIC. If you fall out of that swing and break your neck, you're not going to the store with me."

6. My mother taught me FORESIGHT. "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident.

7. My mother taught me IRONY. "Keep crying, and I'll give you something to cry about."

BEFORE I WAS A MOM:

Author Unknown

(quote)

Before I was a Mom

I made and ate hot meals.

I had unstained clothing.

I had quiet conversations on the phone.

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 Mom

I cleaned my house each day.

I never tripped over toys or forgot words of lullabies.

Before I was a Mom

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

Or pinched by tiny fingers

Before I was a Mom

I had complete control of:

My thoughts

My body

And my mind.

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 that something so small

Could make me feel so important.

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 wonder

Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Thanks, David - that's perfect!

[GarthP2000]

And _whatever_ you do for good ol' mum, do NOT do like this guy does: :o

I'm glad my mother was happy for a mere phone call.

Dave,

Thank You for your tribute to Mother's!

I am quite certain that your Mother must have known just how enormous your heart is! How genuinely loving thoughtful and caring you are every minute of everyday to everyone!

Flowers would only have added to all the gifts flowing from your heart!

Everything you did must have blessed and honor her! You are such a sterling example and I am glad to know you here and read your posts. Thank You for sharing you wisdom and thoughts in such a fair, patient and kind hearted helpful manner!

I Love You Dave, RG
