Happy Mother's Day!

I would love to have sent all you lovely ladies some beautiful flowers but the time and money issue... I really do cherish each of you. I hope you all get a special something from your little families (a smile, a kiss, even a squeeze).

I was emailed this cute "poem" and I think I'll share...

      Before I was a Mom
 I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
 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.
 Chewed on.
 Peed on.
 I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
 I slept all night.

 Before I was a Mom
 I never held down a screaming child so 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 them 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 and happy.

 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
 wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

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

Here are some flowers for you today.
