Tbt- kids tales.

Once upon a time- I took Stephen, who was 4 at the time, to the grocery store. He wanted hot dogs and I told him no, it wasn't on the list. He was walking beside the cart, and I was pushing. I walked over to look at the meat, and made a fatal mistake. I turned my back. Stephen, grabbed the cart and pushed it as hard as he could. I ran after the cart; and He grabbed hot dogs and ran the opposite direction.

Moral of the story: they're smarter than us. Don't turn your back- EVER!

To all the mothers:

To all the mothers: the unsung heroes that are on call 24 hours a day. Wiping tears as well as noses, dispensing hugs and kisses freely.

To the new moms: handed an infant without a manual, scared and nervous and yet full of hope and new beginnings. You are not alone. 

To the stay at home moms: always working a full time job, never a vacation or a day off, always a mom. Thank you. It is to you, I look for inspiration and new ideas. 

To the working moms: away from their babies, getting home in time to kiss them goodnight, working so hard for them, and  working hard at home as well, I'm with you. 

To the moms who have lost: We can never fully understand the depth of your loss, and send our love and support. 

To the moms who have an empty nest: your little birds are gone, and the job never ends. You mother from afar, and look forward to the day the visit with their own baby chicks. 

To the moms of fur babies: many licks and pets and purrs and wagging tales. Thank you for loving unconditionally. 

To all the mothers gone before us: you are loved, missed, and remembered. 

Happy Mother's Day! Thank you one and all!
