- MOTHERS
- Real Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it.
- Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the
- sandbox.
- Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.
- Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn't come out of carpets.
- Real Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up.
- Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?' and get their answer when a little
- voice says, 'Because I love you best.'
- Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or
- years or grade...It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to
- Mother....
- The Images of Mother
- 4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!
- 8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
- 12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
- 14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either .
- 16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
- 18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
- 25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it.
- 35 Y EARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom' s opinion.
- 45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
- 65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.
- The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that
- she carries, or the way she combs her hair ... The beauty of a woman
- must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart,
- the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial
- mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul ... It is the
- caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the
- beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
- Please send this to 5 women today in celebration of Women's History
- Month.
- If you don't, nothing bad will happen, but if you do, something good
- will: you will boost a Mother's spirits.

MOTHERS
Again, shamelessly lifted from an e-mail I received, but well worth reading. Kind of ties in with my post from Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteHi Janet :)
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun catching up with you!
Your trip pictures were fantastic. I don't know what I expected, but Alaska isn't anything like my imagination. Very cute and beautiful :)
The house... I would buy it, but I'm not afraid of painting the walls out. I guess some people are though.... ugh.
Happy Birthday to your baby boy!
Oh and I loved this email and the one about the "Dad" letter :)
One more thing... that wreath is precious!!
hugs,
rue
so true.
ReplyDeleteThis was just beautiful. I am so glad you shared it. Sometimes we Mom's need to be reminded of a few things as it is easy to become burned out and tired.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Jen
I agree. I have the best mom in the world, and we didnt eat quiche. :)
ReplyDeleteHey Janet! This is great - and so very true!!

Wonderful post and so timely for me. My mother passed away 3 years ago this month. There is not a day that goes by, that I don't say, "I wish Mom were here so I could tell her, ask her or hug her.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Penny
