Mothers Day
Okay, so I couldn’t come up with a creative title. Oh well. I am hiding in the office right now while the children whine, “Mommy! I need help with my belt!”
“Mommy, I need to go potty!”
“Mommy! I’m hungry!”
Before I had kids, I thought it would be the most powerful thing in the world to have “Mommy make it better” and a child hug me while they were sobbing. Now, I think the one thing mothers around the world would truly like is some Alone time. A time where you AREN’T cleaning up messes, wiping someone’s behind, or vacuuming up the fish food that is covering the floor like a confetti party.
Click here for a list of funny Mother’s Day sayings from Margery.
I remember a Mother’s Day five years ago, when I was sitting in my church choir. We had been trying for a baby and the priest asked all mothers to rise for a special blessing. Every woman in the choir stood up except me. I remember getting choked up inside, my eyes getting teary because I wanted to be a mother so badly. As it turned out, a few weeks later I got my wish.
But there are still many friends of mine who have not yet had that wish granted. I pray that one day, that blessing will come to them. I pray that next year, they will celebrate Mother’s Day for the first time.
For all of you who are mothers, may you have to clean up fewer than three messes today.:wave: May your children give you hugs and kisses and plenty of love.
For grandmothers, may you sit back and bask in your grandchildren’s adoration while you gloat that you don’t have to clean up any messes.
For my husband–thank you for the spa gift certificate from the kids. And since this man knows me well and knows the absolute best gift of all for a woman who dreams of becoming a published writer–he also ordered a new laptop for me. Let’s just say that my old one has Windows 98. Enough said. :help: I love this man!

That’s easy. I wish I could be with my mother again, just for one more day.
Stacy Says:
I don’t remember what I was going to say…Margery made me cry.
But I have my wish, my husband has the day off and we are together. I had a wonderful sleep in as a bonus.

I would wish for peace and quiet!
Melissa Says:
I had some alone time on my mother’s day. It was great! But at the same time, a bit lonely, as well.
Rene Says:
A day without mothering. Being a mom is being on the clock 24/7. I’d like 24 hours of being responsible for no one but myself…and Hugh Jackman…and Johnny Depp.
