I saw this note on a blog that I follow....

My promise to my child~ I am not your friend, I am your Mother. I will stalk you, flip out on you, lecture you, drive you insane, be your worst nightmare & hunt you down like a bloodhound when needed. When you understand that, I will know you are a responsible adult. You will NEVER find someone who loves, prays for, cares for, and worries about you more than I do.

Love, Mommy
