Blessed Mother's Day

PhotobucketI cashed in part of my mother's day yesterday!  I got a pedicure and some acrylic nails.  I love to get pedicures.  I like to wear sandals and flip flops in the summer, and I think feet are just gross so I like to keep mine looking at least  presentable.  But, I don't usually have "fake nails".  It's hard to diaper kids, cook dinner, pick your nose, etc with them.  (Just kidding about that last part, m'kay!)  But since it was a gift, I had to go get them.  I like feeling all pretty and girly again.  Although it's very hard to type and text with them.  I had to cut them down when I got home 'cause I realized real quickly that they were way too long.  So, I cut them down to "mom-size" instead of mistress size like they were. I got the pink nails with white tips and I think they look really pretty. I also got cute little flowers painted on my big toes.  I also got some tanning visits as a gift and I've been cashing those in as well.  I had a blessed weekend spending Saturday with my mom and sisters and Sunday with my mother-in-law (who I consider a second mom).  I am so blessed to have two wonderful, loving mothers to care for me.  I know that I an always count on them to be there when I need them and that means more than anything!  I hope that some day my three babies can say the same thing!

Mommies Don't Have Mommies!!

Photobucket
On Sunday night, Mother's Day as I tucked my 4 year old son, Tyler into bed I thanked him for the best Mother's Day ever.  I told him that I was so lucky to have a wonderful son like him and how much I thank God every day for my blessings.  As we prayed, we thanked God for my Mom (his Nanny) and my Mother-in-Law (his Memaw).  Afterward, he boldly stated, "Mommies don't have mommies!!"

I explained to him that my mommy was Nanny.  He laughed and said, "She can't be your mommy, she's my nanny!!"

I tried to explain exactly how it was possible.  My mom had me, then I had him so that made her my mom and his nanny.  He just laughed and said, "No!  She's just my nanny not your mommy."

I laughed and the exchange began between us "No she's mine - No mine!"

Tyler then proclaimed that he knew who my mom was and it was not Nanny 'cause she was his.  My mom is...Aunt Lulu (My sister, Mandy!).  Although I couldn't wait to tell her this, I could not explain to a four year old the fact that I was born before her so there was no way possible that she was my mommy.

It reminded me of all the times we were younger and people would ask who was the oldest and we would make them choose.  They would always think she was older and I hated it!  Now (three kids later) I only wish people still thought I was the youngest!

Happy Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day! I will be celebrating the weekend with my beautiful mother and mother-in-law who both mean the world to me. I know how lucky I am to have two such loving and caring women in my life. Thank you Jesus for them both.


To My Mom:  
You can see it in their eyes,
in tender hugs and long good-byes,
Photobucketa love that only moms and daughters know.

You can see it in their smiles,
through passing years and changing styles,
a friendship that continually seems to grow.

You can see it in their lives,
the joy each one of them derives,
in just knowing that the other one is there...

To care and to understand,
lend an ear or hold a hand,
and to celebrate the memories they share.


To My Mother-In-Law (my 2nd Mom):
You are the mother I received
the day I wed your son.
And I just want to thank you, Mom,
for all the things you've done.
You have given me a gracious man
with whom I share my life.
You are his lovely mother
and I his lucky wife.
You used to pat his little head
and now I hold his hand.
You raised in love a little boy
then gave to me a man.


In memory of my dear Grandmothers whom I miss dearly:
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Grandmother's arms
and tell her they're from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy, I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart that will never go away.

Tyler's Happy Mother's Day

My 4 year old son, Tyler is in pre-school.  Every year they do a mad-lib style mother's day sheet with the kids.  It's always so fun to see what answers the kids come up with!  When Shelby was in pre-school (in 2007) she had THIS to say about me.  Tyler's answers not only made me laugh, but the teachers got a kick out of this one as well.

Happy Mother's Day:

My Mom is   40  years old.  (For the record, I'm only 32.)

She has black hair and green, blue, and white eyes.  (ummm...brown hair, and my eyes are hazel, so I guess he's partially right.)

My Mom loves to relax by sitting in the chair to drink . (sweet tea of course.)

TylerHer favorite chore is cleaning the house . (I think this is a trick question. Is there a such thing as a "favorite chore"!?)

She loves to cook chicken legs and rice . (We do eat a lot of chicken 'round here.)

Her favorite TV show is American Idol . (I like AI, but it's not my favorite...not this year anyhow!)

When my Mom shops she loves to buy Rice . (Yes, I do like rice!)

If she could go on a trip she would to go Harps or Sonic , and she would take a drink and purse with her. (See a theme here?! Drinks and rice!)

Mommy always tells me to go to my bedroom . (The kid's not lying!)

I love it when she lets me play outside . (He just cracks me up. Not I love it when my mommy hugs me, or when she kisses me, when she lets me play outside! Gotta love his honesty!)

Happy Mother's Day, Moms!!!

Mother's Day - It was a stinker, literally!!!

I hope that all of my fellow Mommies had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend. As for me, I couldn't have asked for a better time with my family. I got to eat a yummy breakfast prepared by my wonderful husband with my mother and father-in-law Sunday morning. My wonderful husband even cleaned up (well mostly) after breakfast. He is amazing. I got loads of hand made cards from my 6 year old daughter. My son made me some crafts at school. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get a macaroni necklace to wear. I guess there's always next year, right? I did get an Ipod Touch from Brien and the kids. They got it on Saturday which was when I also received it because Tyler came in from shopping with his dad and sister and declared, "Mommy we got you a new ipod"! Since the cat was out of the bag, I got my gift a day early. I was so glad that I didn't end up with horse or cattle supplies because ya just never know with my bunch!
Sunday afternoon we went to my sister's house and spent the afternoon with my mother and siblings. Since my sister has a new house (a big log cabin) it was nice to be there because there was room for the kids to play and have fun while not disturbing the adults (too much). It was nice to spend time with my Mom. I have less and less than that these days. I also got a call from my dad which was a nice surprise.

The downside to the day was when we got home, we realized that Oscar the wiener dog (click the picture to see him hiding) had been left uncrated. This is not a good thing. When we leave, he vandalizes the house if he's left out of his crate. I don't know why this happens. He's fine when we're here, even at night. But, when we leave if we forget to lock him up, he chews up everything possible. This time, one box of diaper wipes, a half a bag of new diapers, a box of tissue, a brand new hair bow, and my "Mother's Hall of Fame" mother's day card fell victim to the violence . I guess we all know how Oscar feels about me now, right? The worst of all is that he found a sippie cup full of milk that had obviously been MIA for quite some time. He managed to chew a hole in the lid and the nearly solidified milk was then extracted by said perpetrator. Needless to say, the house was filled with an aroma that was unmistakable when we walked through the door. In fact, it still lingers.

Manic Monday - Swing


Last Mother's Day Brien got me a covered swing. We have had many memorable moments on this porch swing. We sip coffee in the mornings while watching the sun rise. We drink sweet tea in the evenings while watching the sun set. Emily and I watch the older two children play in the front yard while we swing. This swing has given us many memories and I look forward to the ones to come!

Happy Mother's Day - Camera Critters


This beautiful seahorse is a mother that I do not envy. I can see the exhaustion in her posture. The poor thing. I think she needs a night out on the shell. Any volunteers for pony sitters?
These are her children...there are hundreds of them in this tiny tank! If you click the image to make it larger you can see the proof.

Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow mommas out there. I hope your day is grand and you don't have too much to clean up after the celebration. Maybe this will give you a laugh:
