Think about this for a minute. If i happened to show up at your door step crying would you care? If i called you and asked you to pick me up because some happened would you come? If i had one day left to live my life would you be part of my last day? If i needed a shoulder to cry on would you lend me yours? Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes? They blink together, they move together, they cry together, they see things together, and they sleep together, BUT THEY NEVER SEE EACH OTHER.... Thats what friendship is. Life is lonely without friends. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right and pray for the ones who dont

 

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. I had the
luxury of enjoying a bath alone.

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. I never thought I could survive on cold coffee or cold food.

Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Spit on. Chewed on. Pee'd on. I never let anyone poke my eyes out in hopes that they
would say "eyes" I had complete control of my body, 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 or smell that sweet little neck. 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 didnt 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.

And remember that behind every successful mother...........is a basket of dirty laundry.
