Mother's Day

Wow. What an awesome day. I woke up early to go pick lillacs for Meme; they're her favorites! And the ones I found were especially fragrant! So I filled her sitting area/living room with them, and her apartment "looks like a florist's shop!"

And then, Kate (my middle daughter) took me out to the nicest lunch at Petite Province, and while we were gone, Amanda, Jennell, Steven (the triplets) and Miah (my guy) decorated the livingroom upstairs with heart shaped balloons and streamers and they bought me Perrier and Dove chocolates and chips and salsa. And they all pitched in and bought me the most beautiful wood wind chimes. I feel like I'm listening to African winds with them outside my bedroom window. And everyone kept hugging me and telling me "Happy Mother's Day". And hugging me some more. And Courtney (my used to be step daughter) came over with Andrew (her fiance) and her Mexico rescue kittens (who are still so tiny I can't believe she's had them for almost three weeks). And Miah has just been glowing all day, for no apparent reason, his eyes sparkling when he looks at me, and he's been so affectionate and touchy/feely. Mmmmmmm. What an awesome day!!!

And Jessica (my oldest daughter who is in the Navy) sent me a Mom's Day email from Japan....joking about how she would cook me dinner if she was home, only she isn't a very good cook (her words, not mine!) and so maybe she'd take me out instead for Chinese.

And Joe (my oldest son) even texted me, "Happy Mother's Day", which I don't deserve from him (at least from his point of view), so it was extra-wonderful that he said anything at all.

I am blessed beyond reason, and I don't deserve it, which makes the blessing so much sweeter. I have the most wonderful children on the face of the planet. AND the most wonderful guy EVER!!! I don't know who decided I should be so happy, so I'll just cover all the bases and be grateful. :-)


I am currently Blessed
