Happy Mother's Day!
We had a fun day at a winery in Sonoma. It was a bit cloudy, cold and rainy, but at the end the sun came out and we were so happy to be out with 5 other groups of our friends! They had a jumpy for the kids, music, bocce ball and BBQ (and of coruse wine!)
Kids are wiped out, mom is tired and I'm ready to put my feet up on the couch!
Just saw this recently and had to post it:
I feel so lucky to have 4 Mother's:
My mom, my Step-mother, my Mother-in-law (and my ex-mother-in-law too!);
Mommy to Mom to Mother
Real Mothers don't eat quiche;
They don't have time to make it.
Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils
are probably in the sandbox.
Real Mothers often have sticky floors,
filthy ovens and happy kids.
Real Mothers know that dried play dough
Doesn't come out of carpets.
Real Mothers don't want to know what
The vacuum just sucked up...
Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'
And get their answer when a little
Voice says, 'Because I love you best.'
Real Mothers know that a child's growth
Is not measured by height or years or grade...
It is marked by the progression of Mommy to Mom to Mother.....
The Images of Mother
4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't know everything!
14 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother? She wouldn't have a clue.
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's so five minutes ago.
18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!
35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she
carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she
Shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Beautiful post! Love all about mother's thing!
The sad thing is I have two special needs kids and they never appreciate my love and concern, no matter how much hard work I do everyday.They don't even say "Happy mother's day"!
