My mother's day didn't go quite the way I had planned. You know, get up at 7:15 to get myself ready for church while the children & husband quietly get themselves ready for church without any ado, then pile into the car singing "love is spoken here" and then walk into church with arms folded and kids whispering "I love you mom, happy mothers day."
Hahaha!!! Here's how it really went: 2 babies crying at 6:45 means I'm holding one while trying to feed the other. Zack is sick. Not going to make it to church as a family at all. Aiden doesn't want to go to church. Get my self ready all the while hoping that no one barfs on my dress before it is time for me to leave. Aiden is begging to go to primary now. Start getting Aiden dressed. More tears, this time from he who doesn't want his shoes on. Send the hubby & Aiden off to church, barely in time for primary to start & Jeremy to teach his lesson in Sunday School. Babies napping now. (yes, the above saga took until 9:30) Makeup finally gets put on. A little quite time before I wake the kids up and take them to church and switch parenting duties so I can be in YW. Ca-ray-Z!
But the beauty of the day is that Aiden did say about 7 times today "I love you Mom, Happy Mother's Day!" And I got to enjoy cuddling with Zack (I hate that he's sick, but I love feeling so needed by him!), reading too both boys and watching Chloe giggle and squeal at me all day.
Mother's Day, like motherhood, is not always what I had thought it would be. But man, is it good! I love those little munchkins to the moon!

You're such a good mom. And I love your happy perspective even on the hard days. I look up to you so much. :-)
Sounds like a crazy day! You seemed so calm in Relief Society I never would have known you had a crazy day. Glad you were able to see the joys of Motherhood today. You deserve it.
