For the Mothers (I mean the birds)

So I always said that I would be honest on this blog and only say how I truly feel... if I said anything at all. So, since everyone has posted about their wonderful Mother's Day, I will post about mine. Mine was not wonderful. It was honestly one of the worst days I've had in a long time. It was stressful, hectic, & exhausting. This was my first Mother's Day so maybe I was expecting too much? I will admit that it was my fault for the most part. I was sick and I wasn't prepared so that led to alot of stress and rushing around. If there is one thing I hate it is being in a rush. I think there should be a Mother's Week instead of a Mother's Day. In order for Mother's Day to be relaxing and fun, I have to bust my butt all week to get ready so that I can relax?! That doesn't seem right! Anyway, here were the low lights of the day:
  • About 6 hours of sleep (which was actually alot more than I usually get)
  • Walmart at 7 am
  • Dead battery in the car
  • Nothing to wear to Lennox's baby dedication
  • Starvation
  • Lennox missed about 3 hours of nap time so he was so happy
  • endless guilt trips

Just so I don't end on a ugly note and everyone doesn't think I am a total grouch... here were the highlights:

  • I am very thankful to have a wonderful mom on Mother's Day and every day
  • I am so thankful that I am a mom on Mother's Day and every day
  • I am thankful that Lennox has many, many great Mother-types to take care of him
  • Lennox was dedicated at church, so that was meaningful

It's pretty horrible that I'm posting this but it is what it is. ha.

Best Buds


Well, Lennox thinks they are best buds but Jenson just wonders why he's always getting slobbered on, clawed on, crawled on, and poked at when Lennox is around! He will be able to defend himself soon...
