HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Since I will be getting to spend Mother's Day this year in a bowling alley with my mom, I am taking this time to wish all of the mother's (the kind with children.....) I know a very Happy Mother's Day!

I don't know about you all but Mother's Day in my house is a little different than those depicted on television! On TV they get diamond earrings and necklaces. At my house I get a pumpkin plant that didn't even make it home before it got uprooted and died...and I get a vase made from soup cans that holds a beautiful array of paper flowers....and I get a tastefully made T-shirt with designs on it. (as of this post I haven't got to see the shirt yet but was told to act surprised when I get it) I get cards that say Happy Mother's Day in scribbles (you have to be a mommy to able to read it) and I get dandelion and weed bouquets that sit in a glass of water on my kitchen table until I get tired of wiping up all of the stuff that falls off and finally throw them away. (It can be quite devastating when the little ones realize that you have thrown their gift into the garbage) I get homemade picture frames with my kids' pictures in them and I get hugs and kisses.

These are the kinds of gifts that make being a mom special and I wouldn't trade them for all of the diamonds in the world!

Again I say, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all!

Happy Mother's Day!

I know this is a day late but I was busy being a mom/wife/carpenter etc....on the actual day! Yes I said carpenter. The husband and I had decided to build a deck sometime last year (or maybe it was 2 years ago -- I've lost track!) and I figured now was as good a time as any to start. Once we got going on it things went pretty fast. We are hoping to finish it this weekend. I can definately say that I am glad that I am the mom and he is the builder.....with my kid-induced brain shrinkage I am not sure that my math skills are capable of holding down such a job. Although, in my kids defense, I don't think I had the math skills before.....if I did then my math teachers from school must have mixed my grades up with someone else. I would like to safely tell my teachers that I have chosen a profession that does not not require the geometry that I almost flunked. Unless you you count the figuring I have to do when I rearrange my furniture!!!
Anyway, I would like to wish all of the mother's out there a very special Mother's Day!!!!
Until next time....
