I Love Seeing Other Mommies In Action

There are so many occasions when I have the opportunity to watch other mommies in action whether it be during the middle of the week while I'm going out to get lunch, while riding on the metro in the evening, or at a local kiddie venue while I'm enjoying quality time with my own kids.  I get so much enjoyment seeing other moms in action whether it be sharing a special moment with their child, consoling an upset baby, picking up supplies at the local party store in preparation for their child's birthday, or just going about their business sweating and keeping the little ones in line!

This morning I gazed and smiled as I watched a mommy on the metro happily communicating with her son who looked to be about 3 or 4 years old.  A few stops later another mom got on the metro with a screaming baby in a stroller at 8:20am.  Although some of the other riders seemed to cringe as though they had never heard a crying baby before, I embraced the fact that kids have their moments just like adults do.  My heart told me to go over and play with the baby girl, make funny faces, or offer her something that would make her smile... but I remained seated and contently offered the mom a warm smile to send a feeling of compassion while others frowned.

No matter how you look at it moms are the glue that hold families together.  We run the household errands, make sure bills are paid on time, send reminders to our spouses so they won't forget important dates and upcoming events, prepare the kids clothes and lunches for school, attend the school plays, use our "free" time making sure the kids are involved in extracurricular activities, sit through numerous birthday parties so our kids can continue to have a grand social life, clean up the kids toys a gazillion times at home, kiss the kids when they have boo-boo's and make it all better, encourage our kids when they are feeling down, get excited with our kids about their accomplishments.  Simply stated, Moms R The Best!
