Roses are red
Violets are blue
Let's spend some quality time together
Just me and you




Ain't this little chicky cute?




Last night, Hubby playfully accused me of flirting with the pizza guy.
Hubby: (smiling) You were totally flirting with him.
Me: I was not. I was being friendly.
Hubby: Yes you were. You're not that friendly with our own neighbors.
Me: Well, if they were standing on our doorstep I would be... especially if they were holding a nice warm pizza for me.

It's all about the pizza.

--- Happy Mother's Day ---

I received this in an email last month, and thought it was so... true. I do not know who to attribute this to, so if you do, please let me know!

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 a 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 thrown up on
Pooped on
Spit on
Chewed on
Peed on
Or pinched by tiny fingers

Before I was a Mom
I had complete control of my mind
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 it down
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
When I couldn't stop the hurt
I never knew that 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 10 minutes to make sure all was okay
I had never known the warmth
The joy
The love
The heartache
The wonderment
Or the satisfaction of being a Mom
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before
I was a Mom
