Mother's Day... my new favorite holiday.

This Mother's Day, I realize how blessed I am... in more ways than one.  

My entire life, I have been guided by a mother who "knows everything."  Literally, she has the answer to every question, the solution to every problem, and she's "been there, done that."  I am so thankful for her
(and her advice).  

I can remember her telling me many times as a teenager, "One day, you will go without so that your children can go with."  I always knew that one day I would truly understand the meaning of that statement.  Now, I'm there.  Talk about a change in priorities.  Parenthood is the grandest and most exhilarating adventure you can ever go on... the most rewarding & enjoyable 

(and, not to mention, expensive - but it's SO worth every penny).   

Even though this day is meant to celebrate mothers, I cannot possibly go without mentioning my better half - my husband.  I would not be the mother I am without his love, companionship, and support.  He sees just how important my "job" as a mother is, and he goes out of his way to keep me "employed" here at home.  Though times get tough, we stay strong together.  Never do I hear him complain about our circumstance (and how it could be different)... he just takes care of it.  

I am so very grateful for him.  

I am also thankful for my mother-in-law.  Without her, I'm not sure where I'd be.  She gave me my best friend.  She should be very proud of her "little boy" for the father he has become.

One day, Jase will truly understand the meaning of Mother's Day, and I have one wish...

                                         

... that he will be proud to call me Mom.
