May

I know when Mothers Day rolls around, some kind of hate it.  There must be something wrong with me because I usually really like that day, and don't even really think of feeling guilty for all my own short comings as a mother.  I'm just so glad that I have the MOM that I got and think of how blessed my family is because of her and her example.

Another reason I love Mothers Day is how good my kids are to me.  I have five really good friends for kids and I love every one of their spouses, too.  They worry about shopping for me and I tell them not to even do it.  Just a card is great along with them being the good people that they are.  I'm just proud of them.  They know I love flowers, so their gift certificates to the local nurseries are perfect.  A little candy is great, too.  For the last couple years, Toby has detailed our car for me.  He doesn't just run to Soapy's like I would.  He washes, rubs out marks, polishes wheels, shampoos carpets, etc.  When I got home and thought Jay was driving a new car, I called and asked him how long he spent on the car this year.  It added up to 7 hours.  Thanks to all my kids for thinking of me on Mothers Day and to Toby for his service.  I am a lucky lady!
