Who knew how hard it would be to be a mom… Kids don’t come with manuals…not even the four-legged variety.

I am not a two-legged variety mom, but I have heard a lot from my friends…AND it is very similar to being a mom to the four-legged variety.

They are so cute when they are young…that is so we love and adore them early on. So when they grow up, we don’t kill them during their teenage years, when they can all be assholes.

When we first meet them, we become “momma bears” and want to protect them from anything and everything throughout their lives. (that is just an instant instinct) Thank GOD! And thankfully throughout their entire lives, we continue to keep this, even when they are old…because that is just how we women are.

Sometimes we do things to care for them, that seems so freaking thankless, too many things to list here…thank goodness for girlfriends and alcohol.

I want to say CHEERS to all moms! Because we really are the glue and the spaghetti that keeps the lives of our family together.

My mother, is truly the best mom, in my opinion. She always embraced all my friends, just like they were her own… Not sure if my friends ever called her anything, but mom…

If your mom, has a cute name for you, like smooch, Jen, T, sugar bug, or anything else…let her call you that, your entire life. Because, when you are 25 x 2 ish, all of those great things mean a hell of a lot in this crazy world!

My mother still calls me her “baby”…which used to irritate me when I was much younger…BUT now, I appreciate being called her baby. It is a true term of endearment.

Moms! The world needs all of us…love, hugs, and prayers! Keep up the good work!
