Mother's Day

Mothers Day 1998: when I took the holiday very seriously. The church recognized the oldest mother, the youngest mother, the mothers with the most children. They recognized pregnant mothers and grandmothers, but no one recognized me as a mother. My daughter was already a year old! I had her name and picture. I had all the paperwork filled out, except for the thumbprint in red. I even had the plane tickets, but I didn’t yet have the baby. So I didn’t even get the traditional little potted plant from the church that year. Looking back nine years later, I am somewhat amused at how upset I was over that. But I understand it, because I'd spent two decades trying to achieve motherhood. Now, every day is Mothers Day, and always will be. So at this point I don’t care whether I get that potted plant or not, as long as I get to take a nap on Sunday afternoon.

TWO MOTHERS
Two mothers were talking about their sons. The first said, "My son is such a saint. He works hard, doesn't smoke, and he hasn't so much as looked at a woman in over two years."
The other woman said, "Well, my son is a saint himself. Not only hasn't he not looked at a woman in over three years, but he hasn't touched a drop of liquor in all that time."
"My word," the first mother said. "You must be so proud."
I am," the second mother replied. "And when he's paroled next month, I'm going to throw him a big party."
This one made me cry. So sweet.

Bit late for that. We just found out number eight is on the way.
Happy Mother's Day, Miss C.! I think mothers who adopt deserve the holiday especially. The rest of us get into this business the easy way; you had to work three times as hard.
If you're looking for another quote, this is one MamaFuzzy always threw at me: You kids never get any older. Just bigger.
