Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

A friend emailed this to me today and it just made me laugh as I realized that every single line has been applicable to me at some point in my life as a mother. I'm sure that many of you will find it rings true as well so I thought I'd share...

Quote:
MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
They don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
Are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
Filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'
And get their answer when a little
Voice says, 'Because I love you best..'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth
is not measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother...



HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

Susan, I've got the sticky floor..and it's always just minutes after I've mopped the kitchen floor
..so I must be a real Mom!
Thank you!
And a Happy Mother's Day to you too!!!!
