MOTHER'S DAY 2008 PART 2!!!!!

O.K. I have thought about this all day long now and I feel bad about saying some of the stuff that I said in my last post. I am only human when I have those feelings. It is that we as mothers never get a day off. There are just things that mothers do that only mothers can do. My sweet husband is building a flower bed for me right now. Mamie, Nolan and Max (the dog) are all helping him do it. I am thankful for every moment of being a mother and I am so thankful that God made this possible for me to be a mother. I know some people that do not have this privilege and it hurts when I think that they we will never experience the kind of love from a child like I do. The hugs in the morning, the tears that I try to mend or those four little words that I love to hear "I LOVE YOU MOMMY" and the list goes on and on. Anyway, I did have a happy mother's day and again I will be able to do what I want to do tomorrow and not have to worry about anything until 1:45 p.m. or so. That is the time when Ms. Mamie has informed me she wants me to pick her up from school. I will do as she ask and I will also pick up Nolan (after nap of course) and spend the afternoon being a mom. Those days are just so far and few when a mother works full time.

you know...........it IS hard for those of us who have to fulfill the jobs/roles of 1) wife 2) mom and 3) full time employee outside the home. not to mention, we are the social planner, nurse, family vet, psychiatrist, and sometimes personal masseuse for the family.

good grief.

it's like my new favorite quote - that i remind myself of constantly....and i don't know who said it....
"the days are L~O~N~G but the years are short..."

how true that is.

i'm glad you had a good mother's day and i know your flower beds look great!
