No One Ever Told Me (on being a mom)

• My child's kisses would brighten any day
• I would unashamedly make my child's picture the background on my computer, phone, etc.
• I would cry while watching a tragic movie involving a child
• I would worry about someone else's future more than my own
• A handpicked flower from my son would be even more beautiful than a store bought bunch from the store
• I would find so much satisfaction in playing cars and building towers
• Laughing would be extremely contagious when coming from my child
• The word "mommy" would be one of the sweetest words in the English language
• That "what if's" would terrify me when placed in the context of my children
• Watching my child sleep would be one of the sweetest things I've ever seen
• The simplest accomplishments would warrant me standing up, cheering, clapping
• I wouldn't mind my house being a little out of order at times because Lego's, blocks, balls, and cars can easily be put away
• Shopping for my son's clothes would become more fun than shopping for my own
• That each day I could love my family even more than the day before
