Giggles and Gifts.
Our Mother’s Day menu was Oven Fried Chicken. Potato Salad, and homemade Carrot Cake.
My gifts were placed nicely in the middle of the table. A Hyacinthus Pink from Cyn and Dave with this card.
Upon opening it you hear a little voice saying, “You’re the best Mommy anyone could ever have. Hope your Mother’s Day is the best too. Love you have a happy day.” Then a little horn goes Beep Beep! My reaction!
My first thought was I am reading a My Little Pony card at 73 from my going on 36 year old daughter. Then it hit me--How many times over the past 40 + years have I heard ‘I love you Mommy’ every time someone did something wrong and I had to laugh! Believe me many a conversations over the next few months will end in Beep Beep!
This was my next card from Granddaughter Courtney.
Inside the card read--We’re so similar you’d think we’re related or something.
Oh, wait.
Happy Mother’s Day;
Love Court.
It was so like something she would say that I busted out laughing again.
The pretty blue card with th pink trim came from Les, Anne, and Courtney along with a package of Ferrero
Rocher Chocolates and this.....
Don’t know where I’ll wear it but I’m going to try hard to find an occasion.
Les and Courtney ( Anne had left the room) posed while Cindy worked on her blog.
Yep you can go there and there is something different than “My Little Peeps”.
David played with Brandy.
Jay was then off to his computer surfing!
I need to thank my family for the gifts and also the laughter we shared today.
Prettiest Mom!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!
This was sent to me from good friend Edna and seeing today is company day I thought I would borrow it to salute you, Prettiest Moms I know!
Before I was a Mom
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put him down
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache,
the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom
