Awsome 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 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.

Maxine for Autumn
The Mama Test
'Why?' my daughter asked.
'Because it's been on the ground, you don't know whereit's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs' I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration andasked, 'Mama, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart.'?
I was thinking quickly. 'All moms know this stuff. It's on theMama Test.
'You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Mama.'We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidentlypondering this new information.
'OH...I get it!' she beame d, 'So if you don't pass thetest you have to be the dad.
''Exactly,' I replied back with a big smile on my face.
This and That

The Three Little Pigs
The waiter came and took their drink order.
'I would like a Sprite', said the first little piggy.
'I would like a Coke', said the second little piggy.
'I want beer, lots and lots of beer', said the third little piggy.
The drinks were brought out and the waiter took their orders for dinner.
'I want a nice big steak', said the first piggy.
'I would like the salad plate', said the second piggy.
'I want beer, lots and lots of beer', said the third little piggy.
The meals were brought out and a while later the waiter approached the table and asked if the piggies would like any dessert.
'I want a banana split', said the first piggy.
'I want a cheesecake', said the second piggy.
'I want beer, lots and lots of beer', exclaimed the third little piggy.
'Pardon me for asking,' said the waiter to the third little piggy, 'But why have you only ordered beer all evening?'
You're gonna LOVE me for this.

The third piggy says -'Well, somebody has to go 'Wee, wee, wee, all the way home!

Hmmm
Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
*What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
*What if we flipped through it several time a day?
*What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
*What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
*What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
*What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
*What if we used it when we traveled?
*What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing.
Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry
about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities?
And no dropped calls!
