Happy Mother's Day

A very special Happy Mother's Day to mothers, women longing for the day to be mothers and a tribute to the mothers who have passed.

I attended a sweet little Mothers Day luncheon at Alexia's school the other day. As I got all dressed and ready to go, my sweet Caleb told me that I "look handsome mommy." Once I was there, there were songs and poems and I just loved watching my (normally non-dramatic) little girl sing her heart out. There was another class however that quoted some touching and funny lines that I dug back up. Here are some of my favorites I heard.

A suburban mother's role is to deliver children obstetrically once, and by car forever after. ~Peter De Vries

The phrase "working mother" is redundant. ~Jane Sellman

Sweater, n.: garment worn by child when its mother is feeling chilly. ~Ambrose Bierce

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty

A man's work is from sun to sun, but a mother's work is never done. ~Author Unknown

A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest. ~Irish Proverb

A mother understands what a child does not say - Jewish proverb

And my personal favorite...

If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands? ~Milton Berle

I hope all mothers are able to cherish this day and be truly honored for your roles - we ARE loved!!!.
