Love at Home

I've been wanting to post this quote for some time, however, it was finding it that was the key. I finally found it, just after Mother's Day, go figure. My mom bought this for me on a piece of vellum to be able to use when scrapbooking. I love it!

Handprints on the cupboards

and shoes in the hall.

Toilet seat's up and there's

mud on the wall.

Every sports channel to

them will appeal,

and the front room doubles

as a football field.

The shelves in the kitchen

are continually bare.

There's toys on the couch

and jeans on the chair.

Wrestling and mud and

cars and noise;

I'm sure you can guess I'm

the MOTHER of BOYS!

("The Mother of Boys" by Patsy Gaut)

Now I realize what I have to look forward to. Most of this already happens at my house, just on a smaller scale. The thing is, when I read this quote, it just makes me realize that my house is full of love!
