Happy Mother's Day

Me, my mom and my sister five years ago

Do you think I should get a newer picture?

Well, in less than a month my sister will be here and we will get a new one.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What does it mean to be a mother?

To me it means a lot of things.

Potty Breaks

No Breaks

Late Nights

Early Mornings

Growth Spurts

Teething

Patience

Tears of Pain

Tears of Joy

Reading Good Night Moon

Reading the Bible

Time Outs

Time Flys

No

Never

Maybe

Kisses

Hugs

Snuggles

Brushing Teeth

Brushing Hair

Brushing Off Dirty Knees

Slings

Swings

Batman Wings

Princesses

Knights

Pirates

Watching Them Sleep

Catching up on Sleep

Cleaning

Laundry

Cooking

Baking

What's For Lunch

What's for Snack

What's for Dinner

Bath Time

Bed Time

Quiet Time

Joyfullness of a New Life

Emptiness of One Lost

All of these are only a part of what I think it means to be a mother.

They are part of my motherhood and yours.

May God Bless you in this next year of motherhood,

whether it be your first,

you are still waiting or

you are a seasoned veteran.

Happy Mother's Day!
