Before I was a mom
I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing.
I had quiet conversations on the phone.
Before I was a mom,
I slept as late as I wanted,
And never worried about how
late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was a mom,
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to lullabies.
Before I was mom,
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 pooped on,
Spit up on,
Chewed on,
Peed on,
or pinched by tiny fingers.
Before I was a mom,
I had complete control of myself;
My thoughts,
My body,
And my mind.
I slept all night.
Before I was a mom,
I never held down a screaming child,
so that 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 him down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew 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.
Before I was a mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of
the night every ten minutes to make
sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderfulment,
or the satisfaction of being a mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so
much before I was a mom.
Angelina Jolie--her compassion for what's going on in the world and her willingness to do something about it inspire me--besides, she's hot! ;)Contact Table by MeMyspaceAndI.com
I really like almost everything---except techno..no, no, no-can't handle that!
Almost Famous, The Notebook, Orange County....I like a lot of stuff, but absolutely no action movies. They make me think too much and give me headaches!
I don't really get to watch very much TV, and when I do it usually ends up being Baby Einstein, The Wiggles, or Barney! If I do find time, I like to watch anything on VH1 or MTV...I still haven't grown up enough to watch anything more mature :)
My favorite books are the ones Madie and I read at bedtime! He has good taste, so I enjoy anything he picks from his bookshelf! I read my Bible every night, and I have to have my weekly dose of Star or InTouch:)
My mommy---even though I don't let her know it enough! Having her in my life has taught me how to be the type of mother that I want to be---- always there unconditionally. There is nothing in the world like the unconditional love that mothers have for their children.
