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.
