I hope everyone had a good mama’s day. My brother, Clifton, got married on Saturday. Both Scott and I were in the wedding so it was a long and tiring day. I wish I had pictures but I am sad to say that things were so hectic that I didn’t even get out my camera. Sometimes it’s nice to not worry about it and just enjoy the moments. So on Sunday we were into having a mellow day. I got up a little early and the girl and husband stayed in bed late so the morning was mine. When she finally did get up and I started to get her breakfast, I wondered why I had to do this stuff today. It’s supposed to be my day- no laundry or cleaning or not getting to sleep in. But then I thought I get to do this. I love having a family and being a mom. Even if it means I’ll have grubby fingers digging in my bowl of cereal to pull out sopping handfuls of mushy Wheat Chex, leaving behind dog hair that was stuck to the banana mushed between those fingers and a trail of milk down her chin and tummy. It’s worth seeing that smiling face. I may be singing a different song next year having two littles. (My heart double-beats thinking about that.) Maybe I will be begging to spend the day at the spa where I don’t have to share my breakfast. But then what is Mother’s Day without your babies?
Happy Mothers Day!
