Happy Mothers Day! What a truly wonderful day it was - I felt truly cherished and I'm still basking in the glow of it (as well as basking in the glow of my gorgeous red gerber daisies!)
But first, I must say "Happy Mothers Day" to my mom ... I don't think you can adequately appreciate what is required of a mother until you are one... on-call 24-7, with no sick days, no vacation, no i'm-just-too-tired-why-don't-you-change-your-own-diaper days.
So, thanks to my mom, who was the first to nurture and cherish me, as a wee babe in her womb ... and now continues to nurture and cherish me through prayer, encouragement, listening to me ramble on when I just need someone to talk to, helping us move, and making us food ... wait, what was that last thing? sorry, I would never ask my mom to make Chicken Sauterne just cuz I'm coming to town ... ahem ...
Anyway, I had a wonderful first Mothers Day as a mom ... first, we woke up to snow ... then flowers, a sweet card from Daddy and Little Bit, steak for lunch and shrimp for dinner, and finished the day with "Josie Comes Home" with the Duggars from 19 Kids & Counting ... i love that family! I was planning to take some good pictures of me and Benjamin in our nice nice clothes for Mothers Day, but before we had a chance to do that, his clothes got dirty (in the diaper kind of way :) and I got all rumpled and flat-haired... ah, motherhood :)
In contemplation of motherhood, all its joys and responsibilities, I was especially challenged by this post I read today on "joyful mothering" ... I'm going to post these ten points above the kitchen sink ... or the changing table :)
