Mother's Day 2009

This year was my first legit Mothers Day. I have never appreciated the day as much I did this year. Being a mom is a lot of hard work and if anyone says different they are either lieing or have a full time nanny. A couple weeks ago a girl got up in church and said how it had been tough for her raising a little baby. I was so happy she said that because I feel the same way and all I have heard from people other than my sisters is "I love every second of being a mom". I don't want to come off like I don't love my son because I do. I just think people like to put on a show so they don't look bad. Well I think that is stupid and we cannot learn from each other that way. It 's nice to hear that other people are going through the same feelings as me and I am not a horrible mother. Things are slowly getting easier as he gets bigger and is able to do more things. Sometimes his little smiles ever not and again get me through the day. I am pretty sure thats why he lets little babies start to smile at just a few weeks old. It's like he is saying, "I know I am really hard on you Mom and you have no idea that you are doing but I am happy to be around you." In church these week a guy read this poem and I am pretty sure every mothers got a litte tiery eyes. I know I did.

Once upon a time, a child was ready to be born. So he asked God, "How am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"


God answered, "Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The Child asked, "Here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy.

God answered, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."

The Child asked, "How will I learn?" "I don't know the language that men talk?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to live."

The Child asked, "What am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God smiled, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

The Child pleaded, "Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life. "

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly: "Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name?"

Your angel's name is of no importance, you will simply call your angel, "Mom."

Before I tell about my mothers day I would like to just give a little shout out to all the mothers out there. Weather you have been a mom for only a few months or 30 years. Good work! I know its hard. I hope I have helped anyone struggling right now.

The morning started off with Moss getting up with Brenden so I could sleep in a little bit. It was then time for presents. Brenden bought me Jenga, Moss swears he said jenga and thats why he bought it. Moss also got me an ipod shuffle so it will be easier to tote around while I work out.

Moss also got me these sweet egg Muffin maker things. It is awesome! It poaches you and egg whilst it toast your bread and heats you meat. It can also hard boil 4 eggs at a time.

We got it all working and had a sweet breakfast!

After church we went up to my moms house where each kid gave her a tile like these. I think they were very very cute. Good idea Heather, thanks for the use of your house Bonnie and good work holding Brenden Joanna so I could do mine.

Thanks for the mothers day Brenden and Moss it was nice to get a little extra attention! Although Moss always helps out so much on any given day!

P.S. Last mothers day is when we found out we where having little Brenden. It kinda of seems like 5 years ago:)
