Being a Mommy

Being a Mother...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-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.

The People I Love The Most

Katee: You changed my life in so many ways, you were the first person to show me what true love is. You amaze me in so many ways everyday. You are too smart for your own good and I hope that quality stays with you for the rest of your life. Watch your mouth growing up though, it will get you in trouble!

Kaci: I believe that you saved mine and your fathers relationship. Things were so bad between us until you were born. You brought your family back together and I will never forget that. You are such a happy little girl and you trust everyone, you are my baby and you always will be.

Scotty: You gave me the two most important things in my life. You have made me a mother, and a "wife." I know nobody thought we'd ever make it but you are my hero and I love you so much. You spoil me and you show me everyday how much you love me. Thank you for always being there.

Mom: You are my mother when I need it and you are my best friend when I need one of those. I can tell you everything about anything, and I never feel embarrassed about any of it. You were there for me when I needed you the most, and you mean everything to me. I know we have some differences but I'm still your daughter, its going to happen!

Dad: I've always been 'daddy's little girl.' If it wasn't for him I wouldn't love the game of Softball. I believe that my softball was what kept my head on my shoulders and made me who I am today. I blame him for raising a smart, strong, daughter who always put her school and sports before anything else.

Mimi: We've always been really close. You are great with my girls and great with me. You might not know everything about me, but for what you do know, you never judge me.

Poppa: You are the most independent, strong hearted, forgiving person I know. You don't judge and you stay out of everyone ese's shit. I really admire that about you.

Katy: When I was down at my lowest you were always there for me. You did everything in your will power to help me with your grandson. You are an amazing person.

Logan: You are such a pain in the ass, but you are like my twin. That's all I can say, I do love you, but you are just so fun to pick on! :)

Zach: Just a year ago you didn't care about anything or anyone, now you are showing everyone that you do care. I'm very proud of what you are accomplishing. I told you you could do it.

Taren: I know we aren't that close anymore, but I still think we were separated at birth!

Ashley: You are an awesome mom to two very beautiful little boys. You are so strong and I don't think you will ever be weak.

Erin: You are the reason I'm starting to like Craig. You are a drama free person who just likes to have a good time! I always enjoy myself when we are together. You are one of the best people I have ever met...oh, and your husbands okay to! ;)

Timberly: I don't even know where to start with you. You are the strongest person to ever live. You have overcome cancer, twice, and you live life to the fullest. Your beautiful and I love you so, so much!

Last, but not least, Ally: You were there for me when I was pregnant with Katee. That was the scariest most exciting time of my life. Thank you for everything you've done!







On another note, I took my car to the shop, surprise, nothings wrong! Yay! I think we got into some bad gas, because after I refilled my light turned off and it stopped running rough. My dad, brother and sister came to visit this weekend, we rented movies and went bowling. The boyfriend and I also bought a 2008 Polaris Ranger. I guess that should be fun!?!?! Sorry, I don't write that often but being a mommy to a three year old and a 7 month old, is very time consuming. Kaci turned 7 months yesterday, crazy how time flies!
