· I get to say Because I said so
· I get to clean off the toilet seat…
· I get to kiss their owies better
· I get to relearn division, exponents, & fractions
· I now have an excuse for the times I’m caught watching the morning cartoons
· I get to read them fairytales and other stories, and steal a glimpse of the wonder and magic in their eyes
· I’m the one they want when they have bad dreams
· I get to say no
· I have their hearts forever locked in mine
· I get to watch as the world prepares itself for these two brave boys
· I get to sew patches on the knees of their jeans
· I’m the one who gets to hear both sides of the story, most often two very different sides of the story
· I get the momma “nuggles” (snuggling)
· I get to explain to a perturbed teacher how my boy learned the art of break dancing.
· I get to read stories to keep the bad dreams away
· I get to hear their dreams big or small for now or for the future
· I get to make sure they know girls have coodies until they’re 99
· I‘m their example
· I get to make blanket forts with them while pretending to be pirates, ninja’s, or Star Wars characters
· I get to discover that dirt and mud are not as gross as I had imagined them to be
· I get to learn how to wrestle
· I’m the one they tell the stories of their days to
· I get to feel little arms around my waist or neck that assure me that I am loved
· I get to swear at a staring wal mart patrons (still sorry about that…)
· I get four extra hands at the grocery store
· I get to be thankful every second of every day for the two little lives I’ve been trusted with
· I get to watch them grow into amazing and thoughtful gentlemen a little more each day
· I get to be the momma of a US Government employee
· I get to wash mountains and mountains of laundry
· I get to buy chocolate milk
· I’m the one who is always “it” while playing hide and seek
· I’m the one that will love them forever
· And I’m the one that will always be their momma
