Happy Mother's Day!

Some quotes on mothering:

"Sometimes the laughter in mothering is the recognition of the ironies and absurdities. Sometimes, though, it's just pure, unthinking delight."
— Barbara Schapiro, writer


"All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That is his."
— Oscar Wilde

"The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one."
— Jill Churchill, writer

"The world can only value mothering to the extent that women everywhere stand and declare that it must be so."
— Oprah Winfrey

Did you have a nice Mother's Day? I did for the most part. I think I woke up today with same silly expectations I have every Mother's Day...today just let the kids act perfect. But the beauty of my children is that they aren't perfect. It's easy to forget that when my son is whining about helping out around the house or my daughter is throwing a tantrum. I definitely could have done withouth Abby saying "shut up"(her new favorite phrase...ugh!) or throwing her Magna*Doodle at me. Goodness...

But it was a nice lazy day. My hubby made me breakfast, complete with mimosas! I got to read the paper, take a nap, and generally be lazy. We all sat and watched "Return of the Jedi" on tv. We talked to the Grandmas. Even my brother in law was sweet enough to call and wish me a happy mom's day!

Unfortunately I have my Anthropology project due tomorrow..ehhh. So I'm sitting here now and listening to gangsta rap typing it out. I've decided the only way to study is with gangsta rap in the background...I can thank my sis for that. She got me hooked.

Speaking of my sis...she's in love. It's so awesome to see two people who have just fallen in love. I really really like this new guy too. I think maybe just maybe, well...I'm afraid to say it...but he could be the one. I've NEVER seen her so happy before. And that makes me really happy.
