Happey mother's day!!!!

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 to
a mother s heartstrings.

home ....

Happy Mothers day to all Mothers.
I miss having my mother around to celebrate and honour her unconditional Love and Friendship.
I remember her on Mothers day and, I continue to celebrate with those who have their Mothers with them to celebrate.
Have a very special Mothers day.

I was trying to find the right "somebody" line for my Monday this week.

The 7th grader was 'caught' giving answers to multiple choice questions on a HW assignment.
The 10th grader served detention for cutting a class (tried to get away with one - had a note to be excused for a dentist appointment 1/2 into the class, and decided to miss the whole thing.)

So as we are sitting down to dinner discussing the choices they made (which on the surface is 'normal growing up stuff' - they are pretty good kids) - a friend of our oldest son called indicating he is on the way to the hospital with our 18 year old, that he fell and hit his head and is bleeding 'really bad.' 12 stitches later...

All in one day! I was thinking at least we didn't have a 4th!
