Mother's Day

I used to tell Nathan that Mother's Day wasn't such a big deal to me. It was important to be recognized but buying hundreds of dollars in jewelry seemed absurd to me...at the time. :)

However, the more kids I have, the more stressful life is, the more schooling we have to complete, the more my husband is away from me, the more I see how important it is to praise me continously for one whole day!!

My mother's day had some ups and downs and I often wonder if my expectations of a perfect mother's day without any fighting, or grumpiness, or misunderstandings is too far fetched? yeah, probably.

Being a mom is hard. Actually being a mom and doing nothing else is great and rewarding and challenging but being a mom and a wife and a taxi driver, short-order cook, babysitter, maid, gardner, and disciplinarian makes enjoyingbeing a mom a little more difficult.

However, my sweet husband bought me a gift card to get my hair cut at a fancy salon since he knows I'm addicted to changing my look every three months. Camden picked out some jewelry for me that was very pretty. And Camden drew me a picture that was so funny, I'll have to post it later.



Speaking of moms, my mom is pretty incredible. Like many other women she has had sever challenges in the workplace and home front. Despite these obstacles she continues forward, c0nstantly striving to improve her and her family's life. Love you mom.
