My Mother’s Day

I had the best Mother’s Day today. I am in a euphoric state of joy…remember when you fell in love for the first time when you thought that there was no possible way that anyone else could possibly be as in love as the two of you? I feel the same way about my family. I think I have the sweetest, kindest children and husband in the world.

I probably should have warned you of the sugar-sappy content of this post.

Please don’t remind me of the words I posted a few weeks ago (irritated mom-post click here) when I was highly frustrated with these near perfect cherubs.

For now, let me bask in the glory of my mommyhood.

Samuel made me the most beautiful necklace. Made with foam and beads, I know that I was the envy of all of the mommies today at church.

Grace painted me a gorgeous clay pot and planted the most beautiful white petunia inside of it. I am sure that no other child has ever painted a clay pot with the vibrant colors or the artistic talent that my precious Grace painted for me.

My teenage son David gave me a card with money inside to put towards my next trip to my favorite nursury. Did I mention that he gave me $10, the total amount he was paid yesterday for his babysitting job. He gave it all to me. I was so touched. Later today he helped me work in my garden.

My daughter Meghan made her mom a gourmet Italian dinner. Oh and did I mention the homemade chocolate cheesecake? That girl is one talented future mommy herself. Don’t tell her I said that.

Yep, I scored big time.
