Mommy's Day

Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys
Or forgot words to a lullaby.
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 puked on.
Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind And my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom, I never held down a screaming child
So 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 her/him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
When I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that 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 and happy.

Before I was a Mom, I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
Every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
The joy, The love, The heartache,
The wonderment Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
Before I was a Mom .

Yesterday was a nice day for 90% of the time. I got breakfast in bed (Frosted Flakes..hehe..mmmm) and then Nate brought in a beautiful card that he had decorated with stickers but my favorites were the Stanley Cup, and Pittsburgh Penguin stickers... LOVE IT!!! My sister Karalee and her family were over and we hung out. I had a MAJOR freakout/breakdown... I'm sorry boys for snapping at both of you and sorry Kar/Dennis for having to be witness to it. Later on I had a nap and then cuddled with Nate and watched cartoons. I was told not to leave the room and when I was finally released I enjoyed a DELICIOUS dinner....yes, all of you that know my husband know this is SHOCKING!!! For you that don't know...

Wayne does NOT cook, ever...
okay that's not true,

sometimes...
VERY rarely

and his specialties are mac n' cheese, perogies and sausage, cereal or hashbrowns. But yesterday he made homemade burgers and they were REALLY, REALLY good, better than I've ever made. He called his Grandma to see how to make them properly and then informed me not to ask him to make them again because he had already forgotten how to do it..hehe.. I reminded him that he could call his Grandma again...WOOHOO!!!! After supper, Nathan served me the dessert he had made, vanilla pudding...very yummy! We chilled for a bit and I talked to my ADORABLE, FABULOUS, BEAUTIFUL, INCREDIBLE, WONDERFUL Mom and then my boys kicked my butt at the game Sorry, you think they could have at least given me a chance...hehe.

All in all it was a fabulous day... thankyou!!!
