Happy Mother's Day...




Mother's Day was a good day. Will and the kids really know how to take care of me. I got a nap--which is always awesome for a sleepy girl like me. I also got some fabulous cards, new pots and pans and a lot of love.








I don't know if you caught the news on Mother's Day this year but CNN named me "The best Mother in the World." Sweet!



Will and the kids made and decorated some super delicious cupcakes as my Mother's Day treat.

I always have mixed emotions about Mother's Day. I cannot escape the guilt of my short-comings as a Mother while at the same time feeling overwhelmingly grateful for my opportunity to be a Mother. I feel bad for the women I know who want to be mothers and are not (yet) and feel sad for the women who are mothers but don't want to be. Despite my mixed emotions on the subject of Motherhood I am so grateful for my children and husband who try their hardest to make Mother's Day special for me. I love the little stinkers.

I love that CNN picture. Hang onto that one.. I am so glad you have the sames feelings I do on Mothers Day. I ended the day in tears because I can't help but feel like all the nice words at church were not about me...and i am swallowed in guilt. We need to be more forgiving of ourselves... we are good moms! and there are certainly worse! i love ya... your family is lucky to have you.
