I'm not that mom...
I’m not that mom that sat rocking my newborn to sleep because I was too exhausted and I wanted the crying to stop.
I’m not that mom who kissed boo-boo’s because I get the heebie-jeebies’ when I see an open wound.
I’m not that mom who calmly cleans up the spilled milk or the bowl of cereal because I don’t like messes.
I’m not that mom who played and splashed the bath water in the tub because I was usually working at bedtime.
I’m not that mom who read stories and tucked them in at bedtime because I didn’t think to do it.
I’m not that mom that responds softly after being ignored several times because I can’t tolerate rudeness or disrespect.
I’m not that mom who slaves over a hot stove to cook homemade dinners every night because dad is better at it.
I’m not that mom who does the chores like laundry and dishes because I want my kids to know how to do it for themselves.
I’m not that mom who shops for the coolest, latest, and greatest whatever it is because I don’t think it’s a necessity for kids.
I’m not that mom that will shut up and leave you alone because solitude leads to bitterness and trouble.
But, I AM that mom that
Prays that you know God
Creates memories w/you
gives you opportunities
is proud of you
enjoys traveling with you
supports your efforts
tries to laugh with you
yells loudly from the stands
helps you succeed
disciplines you
becomes a bear when others hurts you
defends you
hopes you choose right over wrong
photographs everything
worries that I’m a good enough mom
stalks your online activity
will embarrass you
couldn’t live without you
All because I LOVE YOU!
