Happy Mother's Day

I have two children. One of them is a pre-schooler and my baby is going to be two next week. How did this happen? (OK, I know how it happened, but where did the time go?) I am a mother. Since about as early as kindergarten, I have known that I wanted to be a Mother. What I didn't know is how much I would love being a Mother. As much as I like to think I am teaching them, every day I am in awe of the things I am learning from them. I love my children with my whole heart. They take my breath away and I am so blessed to be their Mommy.

My Mom and I have grown close since I had kids. My Mom and I were always close, but that volatile Mother/Teenage-Young Adult Daughter close most of the time. There were times growing up that I thought, "When I have kids I will never..." (fill in the dots with whatever upset teenagers back then). But now, I really understand my Mother. She was and is the greatest Mom I could ever have imagined.

Thank you Mom, for inspiring me, teaching me, healing me, loving me and especially for making me a good Mom. I love you!

All this talk about Mother's Day has Cameron wondering, "Mommy, how come there is never a Kid's Day?" I don't think I have ever laughed so hard. "Honey, every day is Kid's Day!"

Happy Mother's Day. Hope all you Moms have a wonderful and awe-filled day!
