Happy Mother's Day!

Before I was a Mom I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing. I had quiet conversations on the phone.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.Before I was a Mom,I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to lullabies.Before I was a Mom, I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.Before I was a Mom, I had never been pooped on, Spit up on,
Chewed on, Peed on, Or pinched by tiny fingers.Before I was a Mom, I had complete control of myself;
My thoughts, My body, And my mind.
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.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew 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 didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.Before I was a Mom, I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every ten minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache,
The wonderfulment, Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much
before I was a Mom. Happy Mother's Day to all the special women in our lives!!
