Has anyone received that great e-mail about what girlfriends will do for other girlfriends in need (i.e., hold your hair when you puke, tell you what a rat bastard your ex-boyfriend is, give you the straight dope about how you look in a swimsuit, etc.) Girlfriends are great but MOM girlfriends ROCK!
A mom girlfriend will not think twice about throwing a coat over her pajamas and watching your kids while you rush your other kid to the ER.
A mom girlfriend drives you to the airport shuttle with a car full of kids on their way to hockey practice...even though it is miles out of her way.
A mom girlfriend will bring you gatorade, saltines, prescriptions or anything else you need from the store for your sick kid because she knows that tomorrow it might be her turn to be housebound.
A mom girlfriend will do the same with a cup of coffee when your husband takes your car cause his is in the shop.
A mom girlfriend will work out a carpool that works to your advantage, even if she gets nothing out of it for herself.
A mom girlfriend will listen patiently while you cry about the things that happen to your kids that break your heart (ie. the meanness of other kids on the bus/playground/soccer field, the attitude of your not-quite-teenager, the poor results on the MCAS, etc.)
A mom girlfriend will pass along her trashy magazines to you so you can enjoy the latest antics of Lindsay, Paris and Britney without having to shell out the $3.50 yourself.
A mom girlfriend always asks if you need anything from the grocery/drug/craft store.
A mom girlfriend will volunteer to watch your kids for that special night out when all other babysitting options have failed.
A mom girlfriend knows when you NEED a night out with the girls and will not take NO for an answer (and she is ALWAYS right!)
A mom girlfriend will never judge the decisions you make as a mother. She knows that each decision, no matter how small, may have serious consequences. She also knows that she may very well be in the same position herself one day and will need a mom girlfriend to support her.
This post is my tribute to my mom girlfriends. Without you I would not be the mom/woman/wife/person I am today! HERE'S TO YOU!
