Happy Mother's Day!

Roses for my mom....shhh, don't tell!
 Mother's Day....
            a day for celebrating the one you call mother, mom, mommy, or perhaps momma. 
So, hats off to all those who have...
read stacks of bedtime stories...
gave butterfly and Eskimo kisses...
cut the crust off sandwiches...
watched re-runs of Blues Clues until your eyes cross and you can say every word in your sleep...
ate pancakes for dinner...
rocked a child to sleep, but then kept rocking just so you could hold him/her a little longer...
tripped over toys and stepped on lego (OUCH!)...
had refrigerators covered with art...
calmed a crying child...
put a band aide on a "boo boo"...
tried to be in 2 places at once (or even 3)...
cleaned up a multitude of messes including puke...
changed wet crib sheets at 2 am...
played "Ring Around the Rosy" until you were dizzy...
built beautiful Sand Castles at the beach...
washed sticky little hands...
waved Bye -Bye as your little one started Kindergarten...
tried to explain that sometimes "kids are just mean" ...
stayed up late waiting for Mr. or Miss Teen to arrive home safely...
held on for dear life while their son/daughter practiced driving...
been exhausted and worn down...
cried and laughed...
have felt guilt (no guilt ladies!)
have loved a child more than anyone could imagine.


Me and my kiddos!


For Mother's Day my youngest kiddo (now 12 years old) did an oil painting for me !!!  I just love it!


Joey's Mother's Day oil painting!


Happy Mother's Day!

Love,
Josie
