Mothers Day Tribute

Before I was a Mom 
Before I was a Mom -
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mom -
I cleaned my house each day. 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 - Spit on - Chewed on, or 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 that 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 it 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.
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.

To my children, you have no idea how much joy you have brought into my life!  I thank God everyday that He chose me to be your mother.  I am so proud of you all & look forward to watching up grow up.


To my mother, words cannot even come close to express how much I love you and how I pray everyday to be the mother you are to me.  I love you so much and my children are truly blessed to have you as their Mimi...Happy Mothers Day!

To my mother in love, thank you for treating me as if I were your own daughter.  I couldn't have asked for a better mother - in-law.  Our children are also blessed to have you in their lives too!!  Happy Mothers Day!

To all the mothers out there, here's a tribute to you!!  Happy Mothers Day :)
