Only A Mom…
-would stay up until 2am to finish making costumes for her child’s school play
-thinks nothing of playing personal chauffeur for her children
-would go Christmas shopping in June
-would consider painting her toenails while balancing on one foot “pampering”
-would clean her car with baby wipes
-will wake up before the birds and stay up long after what is considered sane just so her kids can discover their talents
-can bling up ANYTHING
-would regularly sacrifice her social life for her child’s
-would use the “lick the finger and wipe” maneuver to clean anything off of her child’s face
-can spend ten tireless hours making the “perfect” birthday cake
-knows the perfect song to sing when her child wakes up with a fever
-would consider reading a book “procrastinating”
-can go to the bathroom and be greeted by everyone in her family
-would spend any amount of time or money to make a DIY school project “just right”
-knows where all of the good “hiding places” are
-would spend hours watching her children kick a ball in the rain-and then serve cookies
-can consider the teen years “endearing”
-would carry 1000 crumpled tissues in her pocket-that aren’t hers
-can change a diaper, help with homework and talk on the phone all at the same time
-would drive to ten stores just to find that “perfect” Christmas dress
-knows all of her child’s fears and favorites
-can make a booboo go away with a kiss, a song and a smile
-will cry twice as hard when her children are sad
-will laugh out loud when her children are glad
-will stand with pride when they achieve
-will mourn days past when they grow and leave
-would trade anything if given the chance, to hold her babies for one more dance
Thank you moms for all you do
Go celebrate
This day’s for you!
