The Young and the Restless

I Wish Every Day Was Mother's Day

I have been basking in the glory of motherhood today and taking full advantage of doing absolutely nothing. Here is what Jason and the kids did most of the day:
and here is what I did (crown and all):

.....Pancake breakfast, afternoon nap, Jason's curry dinner and not a single dish to wash....it was heavenly, Jason and the kids were cute to spoil me rotten. And of course I have these cute kiddos to thank for making me a mother. It was so cute to see all of the home made gifts and cards that they made for me. Saturday night Kylie was busy outside working on some project. When she was done she wrapped it all up then made a little throne on the couch for me to sit on and open the present while everyone else sat on the blanket that she had set up on the floor. She worked so hard to make me a snow globe with water and sand that I can shake up and watch the mud settle on the bottom. She tried putting a picture in the snowglobe but it always fell apart in the water. It was definately my favorite present and I love all the thought that she put into it, what a sweetheart. She reminded me about 20 times throughout the day that she loved me and that I was the best mommy ever. Jayden was so cute and kept writing me love notes and drawing pictures for me on his note pad and spoiling me with all his hugs and kisses. And Jason did an awesome job to make sure that I didn't lift a finger the whole day, I seriously couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day. Before I had kids I could never even fathom all the emotions that would be involved in raising kids. I can't even imagine what it was like to only be worried about myself and my own interests and I'm grateful for the selflessness that motherhood has taught me. My greatest joys and my greatest worries in life are all wrapped up around these 2 1/2 kids and I couldn't imagine it any other way. Thanks Kylie, Jayden and new little baby Young for putting a smile on my face everyday and finding new ways to melt my heart, I love you guys! It was also fun talking to my mom on the phone. She is such an amazing person and I totally miss living close to her! I'm grateful to have had such a wonderful example and I'm doing my best to follow it, although I've got some pretty big shoes to fill! Thanks Mom, I now know how much work it takes to be a mom and every day I have a greater appreciation for you! Happy Mother's Day to all of you amazing moms, I learn so much from each one of you!
