    Subject: Somebody Said......

    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 more than one child.

    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.

    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.

    Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back . . . somebody never organized seven giggling Girl Scouts 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.

    Pass this along to all the "mothers" in your life!!!

    That was very touching.

    I enjoyed it.

    Pass it on to moms everywhere.

    There is nothing even comparable to a mother's love.

    I have to concur with this wisdom. I love all my babies... and I hate putting them on the bus... though labor was very difficult this last time.

    Thank for posting.

    For me Labor and Delivery were a walk in the park, I was too dang stubborn to use any meds and I had my son at home after a not sooo good experience with the doc with my daughter. The first day of Kindergarten was hard but when my daughter graduated and I saw all these Mom's jut sitting smiling while I was Bawling to beat the band I wondered if I was the one that was wrong. But I know that I can't hold that kind of pain in I was so proud but it broke my heart that it went so fast. I also thought of the friends she had lost throughout the years due to car wrecks. Now the last of May my son will walk the same walk I think I may get some zanex or something to make it through the graduation and his enlistment and deployment to boot camp.

    Just about two days ago my 10 yr old son put his little arm around me and told me just out of the blue, "Mom, you're like a rare rose in a garden of weeds". It just touched my heart!!! There are other kind words my little munchkins have told me that I never forget to jot down on my journal.....those memories are priceless. They lift my spirit.
