Being A Mom..

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".... this 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 his math.


Somebody said you can't love the second child as much as you love the first ... somebody doesn't have two 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 seven 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.
