Today is mother's day and a beautiful day it is here in Connecticut. I say this not because of the weather but because all my children are home. It is only for a short time but I am thrilled. Sheryl was an added surprise. Once again I didn't know she was coming.
Today is what Mother's day is about. I am watching all my grandchildren. They are the 4 legged variety but I love them anyway. Someday I will have the 2 legged types but now the kids are letting me practice of Tyson and Romeo. They are all napping, these little darlings.
This is my kind of Morther's day. I am watching the Food Network channel. I love it. I am not dressed yet and I don't know when I will be dressed and I don't care.
I am going to take this time to tell all the mothers, new and not so new, of the world....HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. I don't want anyone to worry if their kids forgot it was a national holiday. If they don't have kids yet, there are very few of them that know what it means to be a mother. This is the best and the worst job you could possibly love and hate at the same time. You love it because there is a little bundle of joy that will grow and become a human but in the time between joy and human, you will hate all the trials and errors that you will make. You will hate the heartbreak, the first time they tell you they hate you. You will hold back those tears and walk away. Take heart, they don't really mean it and if you stick to your guns about making their beds or cleaning up their toys....they will turn into wonderful humans.
I love all my children and I love having them visit but I am thrilled they are living on their own and doing so well at it. I would like to take credit for it but I think they did it more on their own. I wish I knew who said this but I don't know, but if you do this I think you will have success. And I quote:
There are two things to give your kids,
One is roots and the other is wings.
Fly my little birds, fly. I will always be here.
Love you all.
