Video: I Am The Mom Song

I THINK GOD IMPLANTS ALL THESE PHRASES, SAYINGS AND COMMENTS IN ALL MOTHERS BRAINS AND HEARTS AT BIRTH! WE ALL SAY THEM, ALMOST EXACTLY TO THE WORD AND LETTER. AS MY SON WAS GROWING UP I SAID THEM AND MANY, MANY MORE THAT I HEAR OTHER MOM'S SAYING TO THEIR CHILDREN.

Thanks Sandy. This was on another blog yesterday but by the time I got there it was "no longer available".

Now I know what I missed. She's hilarious and I think I've said everything she said - at least once.

This was just the pick-me-up I needed! It's just nice to know that I am not alone, and that other mothers feel as I do. Thank-you Ms. Renfroe.

I cried (after I laughed out loud) because I'd give anything to be back in those years again. Mine are 21 and 24, and I miss them so much. Little old ladies used to tell me to "enjoy them while they're young, honey" and I'd think, "You enjoy them! I'm pooped!" I can't say I wasn't warned, though.

Here's another song, recorded by Steve and Annie Chapman:

Goodnight Kiss
By Kim Bolton
I count it as a privilege,
I count it cause for praise
to kiss my children goodnight
at the close of every day.
For I know too soon they're up and gone
and walking out the door.
And I'll never have a child
to kiss goodnight any more

It's very strange how times have changed
from the present to the past.
When did they grow so quickly-
the time has flown so fast.
For it seems like only yesterday
I helped him with his shirt,
or patted my baby on the back,
or kissed away a hurt.

Tell a story, read a book,
wipe a nose, or tie a shoe.
They never ask me to rub their backs
the way they use to do.
Once it was a bother,
just a troublesome kind of chore.
But, now I would give anything
to do it just once more.

Mommy, bounce me on your knee.
Daddy, flip me in the air.
Throw a rubber ball to me,
and help me comb my hair.
Mommy, tickle my tummy
Daddy, hold me high.
Let's go outside for a while,
or make a kite to fly.

I count it as a privilege,
I count it cause for praise
To kiss my children goodnight
at the close of every day.
For I know too soon they're up and gone
and walking out the door.
And I'll never have a child
to kiss goodnight anymore!

I used to play it in the car and my kids would beg me, "Mom, don't play that, it's so sad!" Now they don't even remember it.

Mommies and Daddies, cherish the time. It may seem some days like it drags now, but believe me, you'll have an empty nest some day and wonder how in heaven's name the time flew by so quickly. I used to think, "Hurry and walk so I don't have to carry you!" "Hurry and talk so I know what you want." And then they walked out the door, and a good day is when I get a text message on my cellphone.

I saw her perform this live at a Women of Faith conference! She earned a standing ovation from 30,000 women.It was well earned.

It brought tears to my eyes because we moms don't mean to be witches or nags, we just want our kids to grow up with good values, good skills, as good and education as we can get & hope they turn out to be productive, honest citizens. We love our kids with our whole being & its tough, tough work getting them to adulthood. Then we have to let them go & pray they're safe & make wise decisions. Its scary.
