This is something that I got not long ago from Linda Sorenson. And I think that I have read it before. Doesn't matter, it is a good one! I saw myself in some of these and I couldn't help but think of a few other mothers as I read some, too!

Happy Mother's Day!

 Mothers

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 his 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 seven giggling Brownies
to sell cookies.

Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her
child gets married ...
