Already EvieG has wished me a Happy Mudder's Day many times. She has picked the garden of all colour again this year to bring me flowers and easily spent an hour the other night working on a craft for me. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
The Wee Ladies are always making me feel appreciated in their own way. When I was
A.W.K the other night, I had Spark Plug and The Destroyer in the tub. They each took turns sitting down and then shooting out of the water to plant a big wet kiss on my face. Spark Plug gives a puckered kiss and The Destroyer opens her mouth wide and smears me with her tongue. We were all giggling the whole time.
We cuddle everyday and we take turns giving each other back scratches, hairies, leggies, handies, and tummy scratches. I constantly devour them with kisses and hugs and I can't get enough of the constant affection they show. Even though Spark Plug might be somewhat stand-offish at times, she always comes in for the cuddle.
I love that all I have to do is stick out my hand and they automatically put their hand in mine without hesitation. I sit on the floor and all three come running into me at the same time to bulldoze me down. I sometimes wish they would stay like this forever. As EvieG and I cuddle I ask, "Will you stay like this and stay with me forever?" to which she replies, "Ok, Mom, I can for a little while, but I have to grow!" I think to myself, "I know you have to grow. I just hope you will always want to come home and cuddle." I try not to ever wish my time away with the Wee Ladies. I know they are only small for a short time. I am forever amazed at how quickly they grow and how the time flies by.
I know those moms who are reading already know that being a Mom is the best thing in the world. I know you have your own special times and things you do with your own kids. Mother's Day is a day when Moms should be recognized and appreciated. In this fast paced world it is so easy to get caught up in the daily routine that Moms sometimes don't get that extra, "Thanks! You're the greatest!" I hope you do.
For those who have experienced a few Mother's Days, for those who are experiencing their first, and for those who are approaching it, you all deserve to be celebrated. I hope you all have a very special Mother's Day.
I am leaving you with a poem, not to be too cheesy or anything:
WHAT IS A MOTHER?
A Mother can be almost any size or age. She has soft hands and smells good.
A mother likes new dresses, music, a clean house and her children's kisses.
A mother does not like having her children sick, temper tantrums, loud noise, or bad report cards.
She can bake good cakes and pies, but likes to see her children eat vegetables.
A mother is underpaid, has long hours and gets very little rest.
She worries too much about her children.
And no matter how old they are, she still likes to think of her children as babies.
A mother is the guardian angel of the family, the queen, the tender heart of love.
She is the best friend anyone ever has. A Mother is "LOVE."

And an extra Happy Mudder's Day to my Mom, Hubby's Mom, Nana and Grandma Boyne. You continue to positively influence our lives. The Wee Ladies are lucky to have you. We all are.
