For REAL mothers..Mrs Macks included!!

[Mackeral]

For all the awesome mothers out there......
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 She's way out of date!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 YEARS 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 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!

When I read the first part of this, I feel like a bad Mother because I am a CLEAN FREAK, but reading the rest, fits me like a T. Thanks for the post.

HSJMommy. So sorry to hear about your Mom. I wish you the best. Life is hard when you have to be the MOMMY instead of just having one.

Macks, I had a 'who can eat the (fresh)baked cookie and drink the milk first last night w/my youngest g'dUGHTERS, while their Dad tried to figure out how he would get them to school & back, since the court told Mom to pack her clothes and leave. Pray for my girls, please. They have me, as I am, and an 84-yr-old ggmother.

Macks and Mrs Macks, thank you for the sweet ode to your children...and parenthood. It is indeed a difficult journey, but a wonderful one.

Very nice post, Macks!

akmom...oh, I have SO been right there. Make a big ole dinner, on a "day off" work (which includes house work and yard work, etc LOL) and just plopping down on the couch while everyone eats so happy to finially be DONE. Hubby asking, aren't you eating?

Macks, judging by the chart my 25 and 22 year old daughters must be 35 already... but that is okay with me. They call everyday sometimes with important questions, sometimes just about the traffic. It does not matter, I listen and listen.
Hey, Mom are you typing an e-mail while I am talking to you? or
Mom, what did I just say??
too funny, they know when they lose me on the phone because they go on and on and on..
They are the biggest joy in my life and I will do anything to protect them.
