I'm
so grateful that I had the privilege of being a mother this lifetime.
I honor my relationship with my daughter, Jodi. We've broken the
pattern of many generations of dysfunctional behavior and replaced
them with “unconditional love.” That, too, is a rewarding
feeling, knowing that even though I'm still working on/dealing
with my own mother stuff, that too shall pass with her and that karmic
lesson will be over.
Jodi always plans a special day for us, on Mother's Day, my favorite
day of the year. There's no job greater, no reward better than
being a good mom.
Times are different now, we have lots of help, and we even have a
checklist. Are your kids grown-up yet? Very Cute! From Gwen Wagner.
(1)
Your houseplants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them.
(2) Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.
(3) You keep more food than beer in the fridge.
(4) 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.
(5) You hear your favorite song on an elevator.
(6) Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break
up.
(7) You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.
(8) Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed
up.”
(9) You're the one calling the police because those damn
kids next door won't turn down the stereo.
(10) Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around
you.
(11) You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.
(12) Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.
(13) You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald's
leftovers.
(14) Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.
(15) You no longer take naps from noon to 6PM.
(16) Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning
of one.
(17) Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely
upset, rather than settle, your stomach.
(18) You go to the drug store for Ibuprofen and antacid, not
condoms and pregnancy tests. (19) A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer
“pretty good stuff.”
(20) You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.
(21) “I just can't drink the way I used to,”
replaces, “I'm never going to drink that much again.”
(22) 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for
real work.
(23) You no longer drink at home to save money before going
to a bar.
(24) You read this entire list looking desperately for one
sign that this doesn't apply to you.
Bye
