It took a few years, but finally I've lowered my expectations of Mother's day, and it's good now! I got some cute cards with sweet notes from the girls, Miss B made me a beaded bracelet and a Dr. Pepper pin (missing at the moment- picture soon). Sam gave me flowers and cooked breakfast. I was able to go to church and hear about amazing mothers without comparing myself to them too much, I watched Stephanie Nielson's video again, and I spent the evening with my own mom- while Sam stayed home with the boys because Mr. C was a bit under the weather. We watched the latest episode of "The Middle" which was hilarious- you've got to watch that show! (ABC Wednesdays at 8) And I really liked her idea of celebrating "The Day After Mother's Day." I just wanted to share this recently found picture of my mom and I- she was only 20 years old in this picture and so beautiful- she is so talented too, I bet she made the clothes both of us were wearing then! Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Thanks for the sweet words. And YES, thank goodness for the day after Mother's Day. It was fun watching the show with you girls last night!
Your first sentence made me laugh. Hey your Mother's Day sounds good! I love that picture of you & your mom!
WOW!! You look like Michael or Michael looks like you back then, not now of course. What a great photo.
I LOVE THE MIDDLE! I made my husband watch it with me last night after I "happily" opened the desk organizer he gave me. He said, "I was going to get you a recipe book holder or a bread box, but then I saw this. You love to organize!" He's right, but... I went to Chipotle today for lunch. All is well.
PS- I have even bought myself a present the day after Mother's day before. It helps to get "over" another Mother's Day. It's still not too late to do that!
