I sit here on Mother's Day Eve.
My children are so excited for tomorrow that they struggled to fall asleep.
My special breakfast is hiding in the microwave so I won't find it. The milk has already been poured...
Their gifts from school are hidden under their beds, ready to be delivered.
The makings of a special dinner are in the fridge.
And as excited as I am about tomorrow, and all the joy and love my children will have when they present me with these things, I can't help but think about my favorite Mothers Day.
It was 2002.
I woke up that Mother's Day hurting. I had a goopy incision. I had leaky breasts. I had intense cramping. I had shoulder and back pain.
I had a day old baby in my arms.
I had begged for that baby. I lived and breathed nothing but her for nine months. I have never been happier.
My life began the day I became a mother.
And I am forever grateful for the opportunity.

Me too! Nothing better than being a mom. That's what I told Shane last night as we were falling asleep..."I just love being a mom." and he just said, "I know." I really wonder how some people don't like it and it makes me sad. It truly is divine. Happy Mother's day!
Happy mothers day to you! Cute post.
It's so true. Being a mom is seriously the best. You are an awesome mom!
