Mother's Day

Just a couple weeks late here - but have to get them up!!

So Mother's day....it was right after we got back from Maui and it just totally came up and surprised me.


Mother's Day is still such a weird day for me.  Like, I am a mom, this day is to celebrate me too.  Just doesn't totally compute.

Sometimes I still don't feel qualified to be a mom.  I have no idea what I'm doing.  I'm really just figuring it out as I go.  And I sense, that may never completely end.  We all know there is no manual (believe me I would have read and memorized that thing through and through, printed it, saved it on my computer, saved it to my ipad, blogged about it, etc).

So we figure it out.  That's what we do.  With a ton of help of course; husbands, friends and family.  Just doing our best and hoping it's enough.

But one area in which I know I excel is the love part.  Man, I love my kids more than anything.  I think I get an A+ in that category.   My heart swells when I even think about them.  I just want them to know that.  Know mom really tried her best and despite it all just loved you more than words can express.

I hope that's their truth.


So there ya have it.  A day to celebrate my mom, ritamom, me as a mom and all the mom's in my circle.   We sure are a lucky bunch.

A lovely Mother's Day at home.  Eric worked his tail off and made us all brunch.  Write it down.  Doesn't happen often.  :)


While Eric was "Top Chef-ing" inside, me and the kiddos enjoyed the sunny weather.
