Mother's Day 2010

I am not going to sit and pretend that my Mother's Day was perfect, because it wasn't! It was a typical normal day, exactly how I imagined and expected it would be.

My day started with Nolan waking me at 6:30 am ready to get his day going after nursing 3 or 4 times in the night. No sleeping in, no breakfast in bed, no mid morning massage from the husband. Ha. Just a typical morning! Like all the rest and that's how I like it.

Kason did make a yummy breakfast and then did some cleaning up for me. I also got to take a 45 minute power nap :) Niiiice. Church was a disaster as it normally is. I got to enjoy little bit's and pieces of the sweet Mother's Day program. The programs at church always make me teary. I watched a darling little old lady hold Nolan during sacrament and I could tell that it made her happy and took her back to the year's when she had little one's.

Mother's Day is a special day but it is no different than any other day. I don't need a day of pampering or anything like that. Kason and I decided that I indeed needed a little gift for all of the night's that I have been waking up with Nolan though (haha) SO I got a nice little pair of sunglasses.

I am so thankful to have the privilege of being a Mother. I feel like I have been truly blessed to have two healthy boy's and I couldn't be more thankful for that. They bring so much joy to me everyday. Griff and I took a walk together the night before Mother's Day and I told him all about it. We talked about what it meant and how happy I was to be his Mom and what a good kid he is. I told him that my sunglasses were a gift for being a good Mommy to him and Nolan. He was silent for minute and then said "tomorrow on Mother's Day I will get a good little boy gift!" He cracks me up. I explained to him that it's "kid's day" everyday and Mom's get just ONE day. LOL. I am sure he didn't get it but I chuckled to myself of course.

Being a Mom is the hardest but most rewarding job I have ever had. I have wanted to be a Mom for as long and I can remember. Just ask my Mom. Ha. These boy's bring me infinite amounts of joy. They have really made me understand the love that my parents have for me and the love that our savior has for each and every one of us. I can't even imagine how He must feel.
