Happy Mother’s Day!!

Perhaps you read my helpful indicator for teachers earlier
this week. I am glad to report I’ve updated it with a few lines from Levi’s first grade teacher and her twin sister. They are the real deal. And they’re
hilarious too.

Frankly, I have a more experience as a mom than a teacher.
So, just in case you’re so sleep deprived and harried, that you can’t remember
whether or not you’re a mom, I devised a simple indicator.
 
You Might be a Mom…

1.      
If your purse doubles as a trash can, you might
be a mom.

2.      
If you carry baby wipes in your purse and
vehicle long after your babies are grown, you might be a mom.

3.      
If the sight of a potty chair evokes strong
emotions of nostalgia, angst or the urge to yank down the pants of the nearest
toddler, you might be a mom.

4.      
If an extended hospitalization sounds like a
vacation, you might be a mom.

5.      
If you’ve ever been secretly relieved when a
strep-test came back positive-knowing you’d be headed home with a precious
bottle of antibiotics and all afflicted parties would be feeling better in 24
hours or less—you might be a mom.

6.      
If you have mixed emotions about the sound of
silence—alternately euphoria and dread—you might be a mom.

7.      
If jumping on the trampoline is no longer a “care
free” activity, you might be a mom.

8.      
If you were a blubbering puddle of tears 15
minutes into Toy Story 3, you might
be a mom.

9.      
If you can leap from the front seat of your
mini-van to the third row in a single bound and make a diving catch in order to
rescue the upholstery from your carsick child, you might be a mom.

10.  
If you’ve ever used your food processor in the
garage during your child’s nap time to keep from waking him with the
ear-splitting, vegetable-chopping noises, you might be a mom.

Your turn…

Happy Mother’s Day, Mamas!

HI THERE!

I’m Shauna, and I help worn-out Christians find permanent rest and relief by retelling gospel stories that highlight Jesus’ kindness toward ordinary people like us.

In my books and on this blog, I weave history, theology, and fictional detail into a fresh retelling of familiar Bible stories. I started writing them because I needed them. When I shared my stories, people said they made the Bible come to life.

If you could use some permanent rest and relief, download my free Bible story devotional.
