A Mother's love

A mother sees that the energy level in the house is a little too high....so a mother's love takes the energy level on an hour long walk on the trail (the one with the big hill) and "forgets" the stroller so the energy must walk on her own.

A mother hears silence...so a mother's love quickly goes looking for an open basement door and a small shoeless/jacketless child who is playing in the 50 degree weather with the shovel that is used to remove the doggie poops.

A mother hears "Ok bye mama"and then the mother sees the door shut...so a mother's love understands immediately that the little one has found the ring on the side table and has plans to play with it elsewhere

A mother sees a potty training little one stop playing to get into a wide stance...so the mother's love goes to grab a rag and wipe up the urine that the little one just added to the floor

A mother is still sleeping when the little one wakes up...so the mother's love turns on whatever cartoon will keep her quiet for 30 more minutes...or more

A mother puts broccoli, spinach, asparagus and a tomato on the little one's plate....and a mother's love drenches it with ranch and promises whatever halloween treat that will get her to eat it.

A mother's love was tested this last week and luckily for the little one a mother's love continues to love

I know exactly how you feel! I was ready to send Muffin off to boot camp this past week.

Me Too. Except for after a rough night with the little two cents I put her to bed and she said "Daddy I just love you sooo much." How can you be mad a little girl after that?
