Mother's Day

I didn't realize that Mother's Day was this weekend, so shame on me! Everyone out there who dodn't realize, see you aren't that dense! I kept arguing(what I do best) with my sister that it was next week, here I am, a mother and I didn't even know!
My husband told me that my sister was right, but who knew??
Anyway, this mother's day, I will spend the majority of the day on the ballfield, cheering my son and his team on! GO ROYALS! I expect to be sitting there with a host of other mothers, cheering their sons on too, so for those of you who know who I am personally, get out there with me!
Truly, this is what being a mother is all about, commitment, once the little blue line appears, you're in for a lot of decision making. Commitment is part of that process. Either you are willing to take part of your child's life or you are not. If you choose the latter, well, don't even bother to be in the child's life, give the child to someone or somewhere that can provide a better life.
(soapbox subject here, sorry)
It really burns me that I read, hear and see stories of children who are products of harmful environments, how, why? Not how and why it burns me, but how and why can an innocent child be taken for granted? I fiercely love and protect my children. I cannot understand people who cast their children off, or who harm them in any way possible. I especially feel overwrought when I hear about a child that has been killed by a parent, on purpose! Accidents are one thing, but outright murder is another.
Enough already, I am sorry, but for all of the mothers out there: You became a parent to do good. Do good, cherish the little miracles, the teenage miracles, the adult miracles that you have, they are yours to do so.
that is all for now............
