Hey, I decided for the heck of it that I'd write a poem for a mother's day essay contest.....here it is!!
A mother's job can be a joy
Weather she has a girl, or a boy
Proud looks upon her face
Tis time to begin a new race
Babys grow up way too fast
They can often be a task
Children can sometimes give a scare
Throw tantrums, fling food in her hair
Toddlers are most challenging
Constantly moving, constantly learning
Mine! and NO! are favorite sayings
Selfish fighting and lots of spankings
Moms believe their child is best
Even if he's not as cute or kind as the rest
Strangers better be aware
Mother's instict is sharp as a bear
Some say a mom's job is never done
Especially if her hubby acts like a bum
Piles of laundry and cleaning to do
Children are not exempt from it too
Discipline is a major topic of debate
Parents have to paddle to keep kids straight
When kids run the house bad things happen
Brats are born and troubles deepen
Nothing compares to happiness children bring
Whether playing, crying, or using moms as a swing
Being protective comes naturally
Moms have never experienced such loyalty
Spotless houses are a thing of the past
Replaced by toys, snotty noses, and dirt unsurpassed
Mom's Clean clothes cannot be maintained
Food, drool, and spit-up are all that remain
Once becomming a mother, she loses her identity
"Johnny's mama" is now her new serenity
Alone time for mothers is non-existent
The key to great kids is to be consistent
No mom would ever trade her kids for anything
The unconditional love kids give is amazing
Moms are told to teach their kids right from wrong
But kids are the ones who end up teaching us all along
What yall think? LOL

Especially I enjoyed when Jay and Sam left me comments....except for the whole crying over each other thing...lol
Anyway, yall please pray that my interview this afternoon goes well. By the time you read this, I will have already had it though lol but I'll update and let everyone know how it goes. Plus, on Saturday, I take my first test to get hired on the fire dept. I'll find out in 2 wks if I made the cut, then I'll have to pass the physical test!! What am I going to do? Guess I'll start working out to hopefully get in shape for that lol!
Other than that, we are all doing pretty good. No matter what, I'll probably still apply to that Paramedic school for next fall. 
Wow, sounds like I really have a lot going on...lol
