Happy Mama Day!

This was not the perfect Mother's Day. Me and Bob sniped at each other. My back was killing me. Aid refused to take a bath. Grant was so incredibly fussy (I suspect he may be teething due to the amount of drool). I got no alone time. I did not even sleep in.

But I woke up to Aid hugging me saying "Happy Mama Day" and Grant smiling up at me. Bob worked extremely hard and got the backyard looking pretty damn good. And then we hung out with Bob's family and had a great dinner and watched Aid and Libby run around.

As I continue to get older I keep realizing that I have to let go of my expectations. Because when I look around me I have everything I could ever want or need. I have the two most precious little boys in the whole world and a partner, who may not be perfect, but is here for us when we really need him to be.

When I became a mother, my whole world changed. It was the first time I couldn't just think about myself anymore. There are two little boys who mean more to me then anything else. All I want is for Aid and Grant to be safe and happy and loved. It is my responsibility to provide those things for them and I take the job very seriously. I have not for one day taken for granted the two gifts I have been given.

Happy Mama Day to me!





There is something perfect in the imperfection of our little family...
