Motherhood

I know it's a bit early for mothers day, but I just want to write a little note about how special mothers are.
As I went to sleep last night I knew it was going to be a long one! I have (once again) come down with this cold/flu/ gunk that has been going around. By the time last night hit, I couldn't stop coughing.. I would lay down, and sure enough, attempt to hack up a lung! So after about 3 hours of not sleeping and keeping my husband awake, I decided I would make myself a bed on the couch. As I sat out in the family room, by myself coughing so hard I couldn't breathe for just a few min. I wished I were a kid again.... my mom would have been right there with me, doing everything she could to comfort me. Yeah, she might have been tired, and even have a big day ahead of her, but she would never complain, not once! I'm sure all of you can think of similar experiences.
And then I thought a little more (hey, what else was there to do right?)... and realized how important the role of a mother is! Mothers are so unselfish, and always have the best for their children in mind. Yeah, I know my mom and I had MANY disagreements as I have grown up, but as I look back, she always had my best interest in mind, and was never just arguing with me to argue, it was done with love.
So I just want to give a shout out to all you mothers, or soon to be mothers! What an amazing person you are! We are all so different with different backgrounds... and thats whats so awesome! We all are striving to be good mothers and only want the best for our kids!
So there is my little rambling for the day:) Thank you all for humoring me and reading it!
