Mothers Day

Mother: what does the word mother mean to us? Life? love? Nag? Hehe Whatever mother means to you, just know that without one carrying you around for 9 months or so you would not be reading this email right here, right now.

My husband and I went to a baseball game the other day and my mind started wondering, mostly because of the insatiable rude foursome that sat directly in front of us, I kept thinking to myself ,” Cheese and rice, their mothers would be so disappointed by their behavior!” AND then my mind wondered to a different realm, as it often does, and I thought; Holly molly, ALL of these people sitting here were once babies and they were ALL once inside a womb! (Fathers, do not get squirrely on me, we ALL know you had 50% part in this “creating life” miracle, just hang in there till 6/20 for your email k.) ALL of these people including ME and YOU once made our mammas so uncomfortable by pushing her insides up so far to make room for us, that it caused little mamacita to have the world renowned pregnancy side effect….. Heart burn! Your mother sacrificed precious nights of sleep because you were having a party in her uterus, playing fun games like; stick your hands, feet, or whatever else fits into mommy’s ribs, for hours on end. Your mother saw the deterioration of her once Godly like figure, yes I said Godly thank you very much, turn into a nice rounder version full of fun veins, stretch marks, weird lines down her belly, hair in places she’s never seen, you name it! She suffered from Pregosaurus Virus, a virus so severe that it takes over the brain and causes furious attacks on husbands, poor defenseless husbands whose only fault was chewing a smidgen too loudly. Co-workers were loathed by your mother for their less than appetizing lunch that infiltrated her nostrils and sent her running to the bathroom to hurl four times in a row. Your mother had to endure the renouncement of cute shoes in order to fit her tamale sized chunkers into more appropriate and less painful kicks. And let’s not forget that she was probably so breathless from going to the bathroom every 20 minutes that sadly enough, towards the end of her pregnancy she counted the game of not peeing her pants her cardio! She probably cried and cried because of the joy she felt when you moved in her tummy! She would sit and wonder which one of your parts was sticking out through her belly and biting her nails at the thought of being a good mother for you. Let’s not leave out the part that we all know about but we never wanna imagine. The fact that she either had her stomach CUT open and had the worst time at begin able to get up from her hospital bed after surgery for some time, all to have you in her arms safely! OR she pushed you out of her v jay jay! Let’s face the facts, that just looks painful. I can’t imagine what it will be like but I’m sure it isn’t a walk down 5^th avenue. All of this she endured for you to have life. This mother’s day make sure you thank your mother for all that she endured to have you. Be thankful for her and feel blessed to have such a tough cookie as your mother. If she’s no longer in this world say a little something for her in her honor because she deserves a bloody medal!! Give it up for all the mothers in the world, love on them not just this weekend but always!
