I was reading a new blog today and found a post about what it means to be a "Real Mom" , go check it out. It got me thinking, what is a "real mom"?
A real mom isn't afraid of that green thing hanging off her child's finger, even if she isn't sure what it is.
A real mom will eat the soggy, half eaten grahm cracker when it's offered to her, because it makes her child smile.
A real mom will cheerfully agree that, yes, blue eyeshadow does make the dog look better.
A real mom will bake three dozen cookies at eleven o'clock on a Thursday night because her daughter forgot to tell her there's a bake sale Friday morning.
A real mom will wear a bra that pokes her for six months because it means her child gets to have that toy/pair of jeans/game that they just have to have.
A real mome will smile through her tears as she watches her baby turn into a grown-up, right in front of her eyes.
A real mom will always accept you....no matter what mistakes you make.
A real mom will make the really hard decisions, so you don't have to.
A real mom will always make sure that the lights come on, the house is warm, the refrigerator is full and you never think about why that is.
A real mom is all the things you need her to be, when you need her to be them....and she never asks you to say thank you.

Ten Things I've Figured Out
- I'm not any cooler now than I was when I was 13.
- Having a lot of books is like having a lot of televison channels...It makes it harder to choose.
- My son's smile will always make me feel better.
- Even if the memories aren't all good ones, having them is a really special thing.
- I am always going to be a terrible housekeeper
- My daughter is growing up, even if I don't want her to.
- My dog loves me more than anyone else in the house.
- My husband really is that much of a kid at heart.
- No matter how hard I try to pretend, I still hate eating my vegetables!
- You can never have to many kinds of lotion or to many flavors of lipgloss.

Well, I guess I'm not one then. I would NOT eat the yucky graham cracker. I wouldn't let them put makeup on the dog. And I wouldn't wear the pokey bra so my kid could have a toy - I'd buy a new bra and give them the pokey one to play with! On the other hand, my daughters see their mom as a woman who believes that her own wants and needs still have some weight even after giving birth, which I think is pretty cool since the odds are they'll be moms someday too.
Now I want my kids to put blue eye shadow on the dog so I can test my real mom-ness. I think I'd laugh until I fell over.
Thanks for the pimp!
Paula, I think you hit the nail on the head. Moms are what we make of ourselves. We are women. We are caregivers. We are lovers. We are friends. We are cookie-bakers (or buyers,depending)...but whatever we are...we are not any one thing.
I love this meme...brings out so many good qualities of us moms...
Hi prom goer..tag you're it again.
