Moms Are Women First
Renee Michaels
I'll bet that most moms forget that!
Being a mom is but one of the many daily roles a mother performs and as this dominates her life, it may be difficult even for her to remember all the woman she is. While she is undoubtedly proud of her contributions to her family, she probably doesn’t have the time and energy to pamper her inner and outer woman.
Mom looks in the mirror, sighs, and wishes she had just ten more minutes to style her hair or apply makeup. She looks at her clothes and wishes for the time to shop for something pretty to add to her wardrobe. Or an hour once a week to take a yoga or exercise class to soothe her spirit.
She puts this thought aside for the 1,001st time, and moves on to do the laundry, wash the dishes, go grocery shopping, prepare meals, pick up the kids at school, drive them to a sports practice or music lesson, or juggles a job outside as well as her mom’s job.
Mom’s the heart and soul of a family, whether she’s married or a single mom. But she’s a woman first, so this Mothers Day, why not give her a unique gift to show you honor all that she is, whether you are her children or husband? Just imagine how her eyes will light up and how delighted she’ll be when she knows her family realizes and cares about a side of her that she has neglected to take care of you.
Husbands can give her a special romantic gift
• Send her a love letter or poem that tells her how you appreciate her as a woman
• Give her sexy lingerie
• Treat her to a day at a spa then take her out to a romantic dinner separate from your family’s Mothers Day celebration
• Give her a “total makeover” and then have a photographer take glamorous photos of her. Buy a frame to prominently display the best photo
• Give her a romantic gift in front of the family so they know how much you love her as a woman. Do a special presentation, what about serenading her with a karaoke tune and handing her your own bouquet of flowers?
Let her know that you still care about her and your relationship apart from the kids. Hey, this is not only for your wife, you’ll receive very sweet dividends from this!
Children can give her “pamper yourself” gifts
• Chip in to buy a gift certificate to a spa, make a homemade banner, “We love our beautiful mom!” and hang on the wall over the dinner table
• Pay for a course that she’s been yearning to take
• What about a gift certificate to her favorite clothing store? With strict orders that she has to use it to buy something only for herself
• She will especially love this one: make up personal chore coupons that she can use to ask for extra chores to be done so she has the time to do something she enjoys or just “quiet” time.
• If your family has a great sense of humor, wrap your Mothers Day gift in a disposable diaper and tell her “You pampered us, now we’re pampering you!”
Show Mom on Mothers Day that you appreciate and love the total woman she is and she will be forever grateful.

Our moms were
always full of good advice when we were
growing up and they
had to put up with a lot of crap
(quite literally) from us...
So don't forget to thank
your mom for all her good advice this
Mother's Day!
Why not give her a call?
Forward this
article to 3 or more of your friends to remind
them just how
much their moms taught them too.
Together we can make
Mother's Day really special
and bring a smile to people's
faces.
When We Were Littl'uns...
----------------------
-----------------
* Of course it stung you - wasps don't like
to be stroked.
* No, her face isn't melting. Those are called
wrinkles.
* Don't hit your brother while he's sleeping!
*
Take that crayon out of your sister's ear!

doesn't have a baby in his belly.
* Put that down! You don't
know where it's been!
* Where are your clothes?
* Humans
don't eat cat food
* Take your feet out of your mouth
*
Please don't blow in the dogs ear
* No your sleeve isn't a
hanky
* Don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where
it's
been
* Stop trying to ride the dog, he doesn't want to
play
As We Got Older...
-------------------------------
-------
* Close your mouth when you're eating
* Stop
pulling faces - if the wind changes you'll
stick like
it!
* Keep laughing and I'll give you something
to cry
about
* Stop picking, it'll go septic.
* What if your
friend jumped off a cliff?
Would you do that too?
* Money
doesn't grow on trees.
* Somebody's going to end up
crying.
* You're going to have somebody's eye out with
that!
* Eat those carrots, they're good for your eyes.
You
don't see rabbits wearing glasses, do you?
* I'm going to give
you until the count of three.
* Wash behind your ears or
you'll have potatoes
growing there.
* If you can't say
something nice, don't say anything at
all.
* Don't come
running to me when you break both your legs!
* Don't run with
a lollipop in your mouth.
* Don't sit too close to the
television, it'll turn your
eyes square.
* I don't CARE if
all the other kids are doing it,
you're not doing it
*
Less said, sooner mended
In Our "Terrible" Teens...
---
-----------------------------------
* Why? Because I said so
that's why!
* I would have never talked to MY mother like
that!
* Look at me when I'm talking to you.
* I wasn't born
yesterday you know.
* After all I've done for you, and this is
the
thanks I get?
* You'd better wipe that smile off your
face before I do!
* Don't look at me in that tone of
voice!
* You can't find it? Well, where did you leave it
last?
* I'm not here just for your entertainment.
* If you
opened your eyes as wide as your mouth,
you'd be able to find
it!
* I don't embarrass you, do I?
* As long as you live
under my roof, you'll do as I say.
* I'm not just talking to
hear my own voice.
* How can you sleep in an unmade
bed?
Now we're older... We find ourselves sometimes too
busy to
enjoy the time we used to have with our moms. If you
can
get to see her do it. If not be sure to phone! Maybe
buy
her a gift... If your mom is no longer with you, I hope
this
brings some fun memories.
Send this article to 3
or more friends, bring a smile to
their face and remind them
to thank their mom...
