Today is Mother’s Day! So much to celebrate! - like heartburn, cramps, this new heat rash I got on my boobs, swollen feet….I kid I kid, I will refrain from complaining in this post….ok, no promises but I will try very hard.
I have so many wonderful Mother’s in my life. Starting with my own of course. Anyone that has met my Mom totally agrees – she rocks! And my sister is now in the running for Mom of the year. Just this week she made heart shaped sandwiches for the boys just because and hand made Mother’s day cards for all the boys on Lukas’ T-Ball team to give their Mommies. She totally rocks too. Plus I have so many great Mommy friends: Amy, Jill, Darlene, etc etc…and Aunts and cousins and co-worker moms. It goes on and on.
And next year at this time I will be a Mom (to someone other than Jersey Girl), and hopefully half as good of one as these great Moms in my life. There are many things I hope to do for my daughter that make her think I am a great Mom too.
I want to eat ice cream until our heads turn too cold to stand
And read you bedtimes stories that take place in a faraway land.
I want to let you run in sprinklers in the middle of July
And take you to the beach to watch all the kites fly.
I want you to believe in Santa, in magic and in big dreams
And teach to how to wish in fountains, on stars and moon beams.
I want to let you color outside the lines and tell you that it’s art
And tell you everyday that you are beautiful, caring and smart.
I want to help to make Valentine’s cards for your first class in school
And teach you to always be kind even when other kids are cruel.
I want to be there to chase away any monsters hiding under your bed
And listen when you talk, to truly hear each word that is said.
I want to be your best friend, the one that never lets you down
Be your security blanket, your protector or your silly little clown.
I want you to know when your here how much I will always love you
And I want you to know right now, that in fact … I already do.
