Mothers Day

Some people say mother's day is a 'hallmark' holiday. Created by the card, candy, and flower people in order to turn a profit. It is my personal opinion that mothers day was created by underappreciated mothers.

My husband got up an hour before I did with our googie Sunday morning. He made me breakfast, and wrote me a sweet note. By the time I got up, he was ready to go back to bed. Googie, being her normal, terrible-two's-19-month-old-self, had driven him to the point of exhaustion.

I think the best present I got this Mother's Day was the recognition that I don't have the easiest job. That I don't just sit on the computer all day and read blogs, or on the couch and watch boring daytime tv. That taking care of a little princess is hard work, and takes a lot of patience.
