It's Good to be The MOM

Yesterday was Mother's Day. I hope your Mom was as blessed & felt as much love as I did. My family literally showered me with gifts, none of which I asked for or expected. Those are the best kinds. I awoke to a kitchen table filled with gift bags & cards. Photos & hand drawn pictures were among the treasures.

This is one of my favorite gifts. Sew Daddy & family made a secret trip to the local paint-your-own-pottery studio. They made this especially for me. They even painted the back and painted the stand.

It just doesn't get any better than this. Well, the hugs & kisses were the absolute BEST, but this little reminder, sitting on my kitchen counter, will remind me of how much I'm loved every single day.

It's definitely Good To Be THE MOM!

The Best Job in the World

Motherhood

It's a job

A full-time job : cooking, laundry, taxi service, homework help, nurse, kisser of boo-boos, chaser of monsters . . . maker of "everything will be OK"

You know it because you do it

Along with the responsibility comes the most amazing love!

Appreciation in little ways that mean the most

Appreciation in big ways that take your breath away

Hugs & kisses, smiles & laughs, holding hands, going on vacation, staying at home

Cards & flowers, a crayon sketch

A funny song, home movies

Baby pictures

It's the best job in the world . . . the best job I've ever had

I am blessed beyond words, beyond my highest expections, beyond my dreams

Today my card said "I will always be proud to call you Mommy"

always

That's a long time :-)

Yes

It's the best job in the world
One that I will cherish always
