Mother's Day

Being a mom for me is something I feel I'm been called to do.

This in no means that I'm anything close to perfect.

Everyday I'm tested and don't always choose correctly

or I let the frustrations get the better of me.

All I can do is try my best.
I don't think children realize this until they too become parents.
 

Thinking of this makes me smile recalling my childhood:

-Thinking it's so embarrassing when your mother sings along to the radio

and now my children are the ones complaining of MY singing:)

-Feeling it was so unfair that I didn't get a baby book that had anything written in it

and now I'm rushing to complete my Big Girl's scrapbook of her first two years

(she's turning 4 this summer):) 

-My mother being able to make me roll my eyes because of how she said something

and now I catch myself talking or acting just like my mother. 

-When I threw a gum wrapper out the window and

my mom pulled the car over so I could pick it up and dispose of it properly...

yesterday, we picked up a piece of trash that just mysteriously "flew out the window"

The list could go on and on...

 

Thank you mom for everything you have done for me:

-loving my father

-changing diapers

-spending time with me(instead of filling baby books) 

-teaching me kindness and love

-sending me to the schools you did

-always showing your support of me

-loving me

-doing your best

Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mom...
