When you’re a mom, you’re a mom all the way…

…from your first poopy diaper to your last dyin’ day.

When you’re a mom, if the shit hits the fan
You don’t get upset, you’ve got wipes in your hand.

You’re never alone
Even when you’re in the shower.

Can’t talk on the phone,
Gotta build a block tower
And read Dr. Seuss for hours.

Then you’re a mom with a capital M,
Til those kids go to prom and head out on their own.

When you’re a mom, you stay a mom!

All right, motherhood is not exactly gang warfare, but you have to admit there are some startingly close parallels.  For one, we stick together.

If you haven’t yet heard of the Parent Bloggers Network Mother’s Day Blog Blast in honor of Light Iris, then wise up and start posting.  You’ve got all day to write about what it means to be a mom (whether you’re a mom or not, you must’ve had one, right?).  Just link to Light Iris (a new site for moms!) and the Parent Bloggers Network, and you’ll be entered to win a $100 Spafinder gift card.  And even if you don’t win, we’ve got a fabulous consolation prize – a cute little button that says you had a blast with us.  Go check it out.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there – no matter what your mommygang affiliation might be.
