I am a mother of four, and nearing the end of the ‘active’ parenting phase of my ‘gig’. I laughed and smiled. Thank you so much!

I sat here reading and laughing the whole time. I was relating to everything, especially the kissing of bonks, and the visits whilst on the throne. Thank you!!

I’m all choked up. That’s pretty much how my good parenting days go, except I only have one left to do these sorts of things with. The other two are too grown up, save moments of temporary insanity.

First off, great writing talent!!!!
Second, thank you. I have four kids. Single mom. Some days I wonder what I have accomplished, and usually come up with = ??? nada. Your essay made me review my day. Holy cow, it is amazing that I even got a load of laundry done. What, with bugs and boo-boos and potty parties! You made me think about how important those little things are……

That’s why the title was “TODAY” I was a mom. Every day is not like that. This was one day when I felt like I really got it done. I won’t write about what I did yesterday… Thanks for stopping by.

It’s a great job, ain’t it? And to think at moments I occasionally thought about resigning! I couldn’t seem to get no replacements though, I’m glad to report. Did you ever pause to reflect on why, at two years, they suddenly insisted on kissing their own boo-boos? Did that even make sense? Did you ever have any spectacular misunderstandings with the doctor, like carting two hysterically screaming boobelehs in to find out why they cried 22 hours of the day, to have him insist that you make them stop crying so’s he could talk to you? Or did your child come home from school and tell you he learned that the reason they call it the Blue Bonnet Plague is ’cause it made folks break out in a blue rash on their noggins the shape of a bonnet? Yeah, I guess that was me and mine! Gotta laugh! They do grow up though. Then we miss those days.
