My friend Diane gave me a book a while ago..." Don't forget to sing in the lifeboats."
It's a cute book with positive sayings.
Two of my favorites.. First, from Mother Teresa.... "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much."
and " Life's a Bitch, You have to go out and Kick Ass!"
Here I am on Mothers Day. Thankful to have a wonderful Mother. Greatful to have a wonderful Mother-in-law. Yet I feel so sad today. Because, every year I have only asked for a simple request. Cure me. Cure me , so Paul and I can move on with our lives. We want to enjoy the next step of being parents. Cure me, so I can be a Mom. Cure me, so I can give my husband the family he always wanted. Cure me, so I don't feel like such a failure.
Every year I say...next year will be my Mothers Day. Now I am watching this one pass by.
Maybe it is true. I couldn't handle anything else in my life. Taking care of my health was number one. I know it's made me a different person. A better wife, a better friend and I will be a better Mom because of my struggles. It's taking me longer than most...but, I will get there.
To all the Mothers out in this world, Happy Mothers Day. Give them a squeeze and let them know you love them. For every Diaper change, every tantrum, every time they make you stay up awake, waiting until 2 in the morning..past the curfew..wondering what in gods name they are they doing!....It's a Gift.
One more time...Next year I will be a Mom!
Happy Mothers Day

I love the first Mother Theresa quote you put, it's one of my favorites.
You are so right on about appreciating even the little (and unpleasant) things about being a mom.
I know you will get to be a mommy one day too. Let's pray it's by next Mothers Day.
I love you and thought about you all day.

I wish you a child!
HUGS!
