Today is Mother's Day and Im convinced that you truly don't know how important Mother's Day is until you are a mother yourself. I am so blessed to have two sweet sweet boys that love me and a dear sweet Husband who would do anything for me- including taking my two sweet boys to grandmas for the day and letting me have a moment to myself. I feel a little guilty that on Mother's Day I shipped the kids off to Grandma's but I also think that Im a pretty good Mum all through the year and that I show those boys every day how much I love them- so hopefully the one day I choose to take for myself wont mess them up in the future.
I also am reflecting today on how great my Mum is. She is a fantastic mother and I hope that Im as good of a mum to my kids. Im pretty sure growing up that there were days when I got a spanking or days when I would get the cold shoulder, and Im sure there were days that Mum was so frustrated with the bickering and the fighting between Ron and I that she didn't think she could stand it, but I'm also sure that there was never a time when I doubted that my Mother loved me. I know that every day I KNEW how much my Mum loved me. And that makes me happy now. Because there are days when I have spanked, and there are days when the bickering and the fighting makes me want to scream- and in that, Im no different from my mother. But I try every day to tell my boys I love them and hug them and be with them for at least 15 minutes each alone, and I hope, like me, that they know that their mother loves them to the core of her being.
I love you Mum- and I love you Jake and Josh- and I love you Johnny for letting me be a Mother- you are everything to me.
