Mothers Day

I had a wonderful Mothers Day. On Sat. I had some time to be by myself, which is always needed and fun. I decided to spend my time window shopping in Home stores and Boutiques. Oh, to design again. I miss it so much. Anyway, Sunday morning the girls and Chad gave me their cute cards, gorgeous flowers and a printer! I can finally print from my Mac! Then in the afternoon we had a delicious lunch buffet at the Country Club with Chad's mom and siblings. We all ate until we were sick. It was so nice to have lunch with just the adults.

I have been surrounded by amazing women in my life. I sometimes find myself feeling guilty for not being a good enough mom. Chad says I am too hard on myself, but I worry all the time that I am not doing a good job. I wish I had more patience, more than anything. That is my goal for this next year...to have more patience! I am grateful for great examples of moms in my life. My mother silently sacrificed for us all those years. I didn't understand it until I became a mother, and I am grateful for her sacrifices. I am grateful for Patti-she raised a remarkable man!

And most of all, I am grateful to be a mother! It is the hardest job I will ever have, but it is one that challenges me, stretches me and makes me grow. There is nothing like the unconditional love you receive from your children. It's an amazing feeling when your children just want to be with you, no matter what you are doing. They just want to help you, hug you and sit on your lap. I love my girls so much! It is quite a responsibility, and sometimes overwhelming to know that Heavenly Father has trusted me to take care of them while they are here. I hope I can make Him proud and do my best!
