Happy Mother's Day



I am three times over a Mother Dear,   ::   I understand the joy, the love, the fear.   ::   Three little people have changed my life :: and left me with joy, and love and strife.   ::   My clothes have been puked on, my arm has had poo  ::   I've cleaned up more pee than I ever knew  ::   I've said things to them I never thought I'd say,  ::  like "No, your sister can't be put away."  ::  or "Yes, you have the same daddy."  ::  and "It's tacky to pee near the golf caddy."  ::  My hair has turned grey, my eyes have bags   ::  My wardrobe is yoga pants and shirts that are rags  ::  I have been pregnant or nursing for more than four years  ::  I can't even count the missed cocktails and beers.  ::  But I love my children more than they'll ever know  ::   Each day I see them change and grow  ::  I'm thrilled with my life, despite the strain  ::   I've learned to find joy in even the mundane.   ::  I hope your day is perfectly swell  ::  I'll be ordering room service at a hotel.
