Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mum's out there.
I hope that you had a really special day. I had a good day. It was nto a whole lot different to every other day. I still got breakfast and made the beds, washed, ironed and did all of those other motherly things. Today made me reflect on how much Mums do and I knew that if I didn't do what I normally did then I would be picking up the pieces for the rest of the week. I guess the difference in my day was being recognised. The boys had their gifts from the Mother's Day Stalls and their hand made cards (love and treasure them) andI got some beautiful flowers. Luke had made a frame with a picture of himself in it. Yes it was a good Mother's day.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Before I was a Mum,
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 Mum,
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 Mum,
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 Mum,
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him 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 Mum.

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

Motherhood sure does change your life - all for the better.


Yes and I got Pandora. The boys got me two glass beads. They also got me this beautiful Mother's Day Charm. It is silver and gold vase and is full of flowers. I just love it!!!! Good choice boys. Still totally addicted to Pandora.

'LIVE your Life at it's Fullest.
LAUGH at All the Things that Don't Matter.
LOVE with All You Have and More'

My Love to ALL
