It’s time once again for Quotable Sunday! Toni, from A Daily Dose of Toni has this great weekly ritual of posting Favorite Quotes – the quotes that people come up with are very inspiring, so if you haven’t had a chance to check out Quotable Sunday, now’s your chance! 😉 Since today is Mother’s Day, of course my quotes are focused on Mothers. I hope all the Mom’s out there have a wonderful Mother’s Day!“If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do well matters very much.”
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis
“A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.”
“Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.”
“We never know the love of the parent until we become parents ourselves.”
“By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.”
“Making a decision to have a child–it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”
“All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.”
“Mother – that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries.”
“There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.”
“When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.”
“God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers.”
“Insanity is hereditary; you get it from your children.”
“Setting a good example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age.”
“And remember that behind every successful woman……is a basket of dirty laundry.”
This random conversation took place yesterday I had to share:
Princess Nagger: “Every day should be Mother’s Day!”
Me: “Why do you say that?”
PN: “Well, every day is Mother’s Day for me, because you’re my mother and I love you!”
Me: “Awwwww! That’s so sweet!”
PN: “So Happy Mother’s Day and I love you!”

Anne Morrow’s Comment about no time off is very true. Love pets… but when Oprah compares her dogs to children… She can leave those pets for weeks. Or, she can put her dogs in a cage…I think this is called child abuse?
Anyway…. great comments! Happy Mothers Day!
That was sooo sweet of the PN. 🙂

You have a very sweet, and intelligent, princess. If she should ever run for office, she has my vote. Especially if she can implement the whole mother’s day should be every day program.
Hope your having a great mother’s day!!

Great quotes! Tara FORGOT it was Mother’s Day. I reminded her of the free carnation and manicure kit I got at the pool store on Friday… and the comment that I was considering making a “seafood feast” for dinner tonight for Mother’s Day…. She replied… I just didn’t realize it was today! Then she asks, can I have $35. I said no, she said, just say yes. So I said yes, then she said… here’s $35 to spend on whatever you want! LOL. Guess what? I spent it on her!
Happy Mother’s Day!
