Somebody said...

I read this nd decided to share with my blog paddies:

Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get
back to normal after you've had a
baby...somebody doesn't know that once you're
a mother, "normal" is history.
Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by
instinct...somebody never took a three-year-old
shopping.
Somebody said being a mother is
boring...somebody never rode in a car driven by
a teenager with a driver's permit.
Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your
child will "turn out good"...somebody thinks a
child comes with directions and a guarantee.
Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their
voices...somebody never came out the back
door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball
through the neighbor's kitchen window.
Somebody said you don't need an education to
be a mother...somebody never helped a fourth
grader with his math.
Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as
much as you love the first...somebody doesn't
have five children.
Somebody said a mother can find all the
answers to her child-rearing questions in the
books...somebody never had a child stuff beans
up his nose or in his ears.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a
mother is labor and delivery...somebody never
watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first
day of kindergarten or on a plane headed for
military "boot camp."
Somebody said a mother can do her job with her
eyes closed and one hand tied behind her
back...somebody never organized seven
giggling Brownies to sell cookies.
Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after
her child gets married...somebody doesn't know
that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-
law to a mother's heartstrings.
Somebody said a mother's job is done when her
last child leaves home...somebody never had
grandchildren.
Somebody said your mother knows you love her,
so you don't need to tell her...somebody ISN'T A
MOTHER!
