Somebody said that a child is carried in its mother's womb for nine
months. Somebody does not know that a child is carried in its mother’s heart
forever.
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 his 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.
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.
Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one
hand tied behind her back. Somebody never organized seven 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.
"He grants the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!" ~ Psalm 113:9
