I never get my hopes up on Mother's Day that I'll be pampered with breakfast in bed, waited on hand and foot, or that my motherly duties will get a little break. Those things would be nice, but I don't expect them. I did however receive some lovely hand painted rocks, cards made at school and church, a cute flower that had a chocolate in the middle (before Morgan ate it) and lots of lovely flowers to brighten up my yard.


My favorite gift: having my daughter wrap her arms around me and tell me I'm the best mom ever. I'm not always the best mom, but I feel lucky to have children who can forgive my shortcomings and love me anyway. Being a mother requires selfless service, an unending supply of patience, and being humbled time and time again - all of which are extremely difficult. There is a quote that says:

"A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie."


Being a mother is hard work, but it is the best work.






















*Thanks to my super sister-in-law Debbie, I got quite the Mother's Day shout out. Check out my few minutes of fame here. :)

Loved the video all about you! So cute. I love the quote too. That's so true about moms. Glad you got some thoughtful cards for Mother's Day and I'm glad I was able to glance over at you for just a minute at church. Hope you got some good rest.

It was good to see you at church! I am glad that you had a good mother's day. I didn't get my kiss either. Who are they kidding give a 2 yr old a kiss and expect it to make it to mom?

Yeah, I'm not that clever. Someone sent the video to me. All you have to do is put in other people's names and e-mails and "it" does all the work for you.
