— Author Unknown

Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby… that somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, “normal” is history.

Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct… that somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.

Somebody said being a mother is boring… that 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”… that somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.

Somebody said “good” mothers never raise their voices… that somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbor's window.

Somebody said you can't the fifth child as much as you love the first… that somebody doesn't have five children.

Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions in the books… that 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… that somebody never watched her “baby” get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten… or on a headed for “boot camp.”

Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back… that somebody never organized seven giggling Brownies to sell cookies.

Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home… that somebody never had .

Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her… that somebody isn't a mother.

Happy Mother's Day to Mothers every day!
