Mother's Day

I LOVE being a mother. There is no greater reward in life than to have children (in my opinion). That being said, my husband had to work on Mother's Day, which left me with the kiddos. I told Joseph that he would need to make me breakfast in bed, but he forgot and said that he "couldn't carry it upstairs because it is too heavy anyway." My children threw tantrums. They became needy every time I got on the phone. The left trails of toys in every room of the house. They would not listen to anything I said. HUH?! Didn't they get the memo that they were supposed to BEHAVE for their mommy on Mother's Day? Apparently not :) In the end, I did steal time away with my mom and sister in law for a much needed pedicure (thanks to my brothers and dad!). And we had a nice BBQ lunch at the lake with my whole family...SO blessed! I have 3 of the most precious gifts for Mother's Day, and that's all I need in this world.
