| You Are Likely an Only Child |
 At your darkest moments, you feel frustrated. At work and school, you do best when you're organizing. When you love someone, you tend to worry about them. In friendship, you are emotional and sympathetic. Your ideal careers are: radio announcer, finance, teaching, ministry, and management. You will leave your mark on the world with organizational leadership, maybe as the author of self-help books. |

Happy Mother's Day!
Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

This made me laugh ...
This story was shared on the Ellen Degeneres Show ...
"We had a 10 year old cat named Jack. Jack was a great cat. The kids would carry him around and sit on him and nothing ever seemed to bother him. He would just hang out and nap on a mat in our bathroom.
Well, we have 3 kids and at the time of this story they were 4 years old, 3 years old and 1 year old. The middle one is Eli. Eli really loves Chapstick. I mean, he LOVES it. He kept asking to use my Chapstick and then losing it. So one day I showed him where in the bathroom I keep my Chapstick and explained how he could use it whenever he wanted, as long as he returned it to the drawer when he was done.
Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the typical rush around, trying to get ready for Church with everyone crying and carrying on. My two boys were fighting over the toy in the cereal box. I was trying to nurse my little one while attempting to apply some make-up. Everything was a mess and everyone had long forgotten that this was supposed to be a wonderful day to honor me and the amazing job that is motherhood.
We finally had the older one and the baby loaded in the car and I went looking for Eli. I had searched everywhere and finally rounded the corner to go into the bathroom. There was Eli. He was applying my Chapstick very carefully to Jack's ... rear end.
Eli looked right into my eyes and said "chapped." Now if you have a cat, you know that he was right -- their little butts do look pretty chapped. And, frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind.
The only question I could really ask at that point was whether this was the FIRST time Eli had done that to the cat's behind ...
And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever because it reminds us that no matter how hard we try to civilize these glorious little creatures, there will always be that day when you realize they've been using your Chapstick on the cat's butt."

Your strength: Getting along with anyone and everyone Your weakness: Needing a good amount of downtime to recharge Your power color: Cobalt blue Your power symbol: Dove Your power month: September |
Hmm ... honestly, when I read this I think Stephanie, not me. But I guess it is her birthday too! ;)

One Crazy Day!
A few weeks ago I volunteered to watch Amy's son (Owen) and Cheryl's son (Devon) on the same day. I had 4 boys under the age of 2 for several hours and it was definitely a learning experience! Fortunately, Joshua (22 months) and Owen (14 months) played together while Devon (7 months) and James (4 months) tried to play together. The boys were all very good and the day went smoothly but it made me realize that I want to wait a lot longer before we have our 3rd child. :P

I'm a Nerd Wannabe
Yay! I'm only a Nerd Wannabe! I know for a fact I would have scored much nerdier (if that's even a word ...) in highschool, though! :P
It makes me think ... was my elementary school affiliation (and co-founding) of the 'Nerd Herd' warranted?!? :P
