With tomorrow being Mother's Day, I began to think what all it means to be a mom. In this house being a mom means being the following, cook, nurse, personal driver, personal shopper, maid, organizer, shoe finder, nose wiper,hair washer, sock matcher, button snapper, lunch packer, party planner, pack mule,referee, and cheerleader. It also means that I will be told when classrooms are out of supplies, because teachers know that supplies will show up within a day or two. It means staying up late at night making sure things are just so for the next day of school, or everything is together for that night's ball game. It means keeping every one's schedule straight, and making sure everyone knows where they are suppose to be. It also means, I am the task master/slave driver, insuring that homework is done, supper is fed, teeth are brushed, hugs and kisses are given, and kiddos are happily tucked in bed by their 8:30 bed time. It also means I am the one that gets the tightest hugs, the silly laughs, the little hands holding onto mine because they are just a little scared. I am the one that gets teary eyed the first day of school, every year. I am the one that gets to be called Mommy, by two little boys that stole my heart the minute I knew they were on their way.
"There is a boy that stole my heart and he calls me Mommy"
