This is beautifully written...
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 her math.
Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much
as you love the first.
Somebody doesn't have five children.
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
or in his ears.
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....
or on a plane headed for military "boot camp."
Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes
closed and one hand tied
behind her back .....
somebody never organized four giggling Brownies 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.
