A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

Mothers



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for the mothers who have sat up all



night with sick toddlers



%26gt; in their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar



Mayer wieners and



%26gt; cherry Kool-Aid saying, "It's okay honey,



Mommy's here." Who have sat



%26gt; in rocking chairs for hours on end soothing



crying babies who can't be



%26gt; comforted.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for all the mothers who show up at work



with spit-up in their



%26gt; hair and milk stains on their blouses and



diapers in their purse. For



%26gt; all the mothers who run carpools and make



cookies and sew Halloween



%26gt; costumes. And all the mothers who DON'T.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for the mothers who gave birth to



babies they'll never see.



%26gt; And the mothers who took those babies and gave



them homes.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for the mothers whose priceless art



collections are hanging on



%26gt; their refrigerator doors. And for all the



mothers who froze their buns



%26gt; on metal bleachers at football or soccer games



instead of watching



%26gt; from the warmth of their cars, so that when



their kids asked, "Did you



%26gt; see me, Mom?" they could say, "Of course, I



wouldn't have missed it



%26gt; for the world," and mean it.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for all the mothers who yell at their



kids in the grocery



%26gt; store and swat them in despair when they stomp



their feet and scream



%26gt; for ice cream before dinner. And for all the



mothers who count to ten



%26gt; instead, but realize how child abuse happens.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for all the mothers who sat down with



their children and



%26gt; explained all about making babies. And for all



the (grand) mothers who



%26gt; wanted to, but just couldn't find the words.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for all the mothers who go hungry, so



their children can eat.



%26gt; For all the mothers who read "Goodnight, Moon"



twice a night for a



%26gt; year. And then read it again. "Just one more



time."



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for all the mothers who taught their



children to tie their



%26gt; shoelaces before they started school. A nd for



all the mothers who



%26gt; opted for Velcro instead.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for all the mothers who teach their



sons to cook and their



%26gt; daughters to sink a jump shot.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for every mother whose head turns



automatically when a little



%26gt; voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they



know their own



%26gt; offspring are at home -- or even away at



college.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for all the mothers who sent their kids



to school with stomach



%26gt; aches assuring them they'd be just FINE once



they got there, only to



%26gt; get calls from the school nurse an hour later



asking them to please



%26gt; pick them up. Right away.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for mothers whose children have gone



astray, who can't find



%26gt; the words to reach them.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for all the step-mothers who raised



another woman's child or



%26gt; children, and gave their time, attention, and



love... sometimes



%26gt; totally unappreciated!



%26gt;



%26gt; For all the mothers who bite their lips until



they bleed when their



%26gt; 14-year-olds dye their hair green.



%26gt;



%26gt; For all the mothers of the victims of recent



school shootings, and the



%26gt; mothers of those who did the shooting.



%26gt;



%26gt; For the mothers of the survivors, and the



mothers who sat in front of



%26gt; their TVs in horror, hugging their child who



just came home from



%26gt; school, safely.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for all the mothers who taught their



children to be peaceful,



%26gt; and now pray they come home safely from a war.



%26gt;



%26gt; What makes a good Mother anyway? Is it



patience? Compassion? Broad



%26gt; hips? The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner,



and sew a button on a



%26gt; shirt, all at the same time? Or is it in her



heart? Is it the ache you



%26gt; feel when you watch your son or daughter



disappear down the street,



%26gt; walking to school alone for the very first



time? The jolt that takes



%26gt; you from sleep to dread, from bed to crib at 2



A.M. to put your hand



%26gt; on the back of a sleeping baby? Th e panic,



years later, that comes



%26gt; again at 2 A.M. when you just want to hear



their key in the door and



%26gt; know they are safe again in your home? Or the



need to flee from



%26gt; wherever you are and hug your child when you



hear news of a fire, a



%26gt; car accident, a child dying?



%26gt;



%26gt; The emotions of motherhood are universal and so



our thoughts are for



%26gt; young mothers stumbling through diaper changes



and sleep



%26gt; deprivation... And mature mothers learning to



let go.



%26gt;



%26gt; For working mothers and stay-at-home mothers.



%26gt;



%26gt; Single mothers and married mothers.



%26gt;



%26gt; Mothers with money, mothers without.



%26gt;



%26gt; This is for you all.



%26gt;



%26gt; For all of us.



%26gt;



%26gt; Hang in there.



%26gt;



%26gt; In the end we can only do the best we can.



%26gt;



%26gt; Tell them every day that we love them.



%26gt;



%26gt; And pray.



%26gt;



%26gt; "Home is what catches you when you fall - and



we all fall."

A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

That is the only thing I have read on Answers that has touched me. It sums up being a mum completely and helps when you're having a less than perfect day and/or feel like the only mum that can't quite do 'it' right.



Thank you



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

A bit long winded but great all the same - thanx

Thanks you so much for such a wonderful gesture!!



x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

If the governments of this world listened to their mums - we would live in peace and harmony!!!



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

Here, here, bravo to Mothers everywhere.



Don't forget the Fathers who let their wives have a career and stayed home and raised the children too.



I did all that and more - been there done that and proud.



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

Very beautiful....



I`m not a mom but I hope to be one soon...



Anyway, my hat`s off to all the moms but also to all the dads in this world...

thanks for the inspiring note



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

That was lovely, touching and funny at times, however it was very long winded and i was getting slightly bored by the end!



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

this sums up being a mom .........perfect! :)



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

Sounds great.. You may want to break it into two parts. People will tend to skim it after awhile of reading it



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

Thanks for that...... It sounded like it covers about all Moms.



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

that was so nice thank you for the reminder of what were here for ive got a kiddie nearly hitting the terrible twos so i needed that good luck to me ha ha thanks again.



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

What about dads?



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?

*tears in eyes*



I know what you mean about waking at 2 am to check on baby. My son is two and a half. He's slept trough the night since he was 6 weeks. Yet I've someone never gotton a full night sleep since the day he was born.



A little pick me up for mummys what do u think?
