I am saying this because I'm looking at an Alicia Keys cd that my mom just sent me in the mail. There is not many cooler things than coming home from a lonely day and having an unknown package waiting for you at your dorm. Moms are always ready to serve you for some weird reason.
Sometimes we get mad at moms but it is impossible to stay mad at moms, and if anyone ever messes with our moms that just really pisses us off. Moms don't much care about their own lives, they just want you to be number one. Moms are the coolest.
I can't believe my mom even knows that I like Alicia Keys, but she finds out everything. Sometimes I don't want her to know everything, but she just knows anyway, its like some weird code. Its like there exists a special bond between kids and moms, maybe cuz of the whole "looking like a planet for nine months and still having to go on with your normal life because nobody around really understands what is going inside of your stomach especially if they have a penis cuz that can't happen to them so its easier to stay away" thing.
So thanks for doing that for me mom, if you read my blog. Or just if you are a mom in general, props to you. Oh yeah and I think mothers day is coming up too

Josh,
This is an excellent blog. You make some very good points about moms in a funny way. You are really good at building other people up.
This is Mom, writing as Tobi because i dont have my own account, and i am bad at the computer thing to start my own.
So i wanted you to know that there is another weird thing, and it is being a mom. It is not just weird for the kid. It is this magical thing that happens when you become a mom. It is sort of like a born again experience. Sometimes you ask for it, and sometimes it takes you by surprise, but you have to accept the new life. You never know though, really what will happen to you. You will be changed, forever.
When you are changed, it is like what you say, Moms are weird. You have this being, that lives completely dependant on you, and no matter the cost you do everthing to protect it, no matter how big or small it still is.
Then from the time you give birth you are doing your best to get them ready to leave you, but the cord that attaches you never seems to go away. i have always said that i feel that my heart is divided up into pieces when my children are away from me. i thought that i would get used to it, but i never have. There is this unseen spiritual connection between mom and child, one of the most wonderful things. i experience it often enough to remind me that it still exists even when you are gone from my house. i know when you need an Alicia Keys CD, and on the other side still wake up in the night terrified when you are in trouble or not at home, often times praying into the night for your safety. As a mom, i also don't understand what could be the magical connection, but i have come to understand God a little better i think. To understand what it is to give life, to sacrifice yourself and your desires, and to want the very best for you. To cry when you feel pain, and encourage you when you are down. To see the potential in you even when you don't have any idea, and to want to help you realize that. To love absolutely, unconditionally, Perhaps this is why i have come to beleive in the feminine side of God.
it has been my greatest achievement to become a mom, and yet it has not come from my own ability, but only by the grace of God.
This is my side of "Moms"
your mom
