I had a wonderful day!! Mother's Day is not a vacation, a time to sit back, but more a time to celebrate your kids. Heck, without them you would not be able to celebrate this day. You wouldn't be getting your card heavy with glue, the ceramic thingie a ma gig that needs some explaining, breakfast ala mess, or whatever your day may bring. I made sandwiches today, I wiped counters and bums, I refereed some fights and dealt with some heavy issues. It's not my day off. Life keeps on going. And I'm not saying these things because I some amazing Supermom and I know all and do all. OH NO!!!
But what I am saying is that being a Mom is all these things, and more. And sometimes it just can't take a day off, even if the calender says it's Mother's Day and Hallmark says to buy a card.
But yes I had a wonderful day. I love my kids. I was treated with waffles topped with strawberries and whip cream, we had a wonderful hike up Mount Douglas, a game of basketball until the rain sent us inside, dinner and dessert and so many hugs and kisses I lost count. And the added bonus of the very first Mother's Day for me and my 2 wonderful boys.
I am thankful today for my kids. They are all unique individuals who keep my on my toes. They all are full of life and love and we are knit together in a such a special way.
Happy Mother's Day.
