Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms!

For me it's been a great day: skating 10 miles (yup 10!), coming home for a nice hot shower, and then going to brunch with Mr. Doll and the girls. Oh, yes, that was followed up by reading and taking a nap.

I got awesome presents from the girls. They each made me a card. G gave me a copy of her class poetry book, and A had a project from school with "My Mom".

Here are some choice excerpts:

G's card. "I love how you always give me a second chance!! So Happy Mothers Day!"

One of her poems
The water is spraying everywhere
The mist is like a veil of silk drops
The rocks are like a path to heaven
The water rushes so near but is impossible to see through
The water comes from above
but ends in a place with more water and keeps moving
I see the most luscious foliage everywhere
I feel like I am in heaven with my friends.

A's book
My Mom and I : My mom and I like to snuggle in her bed, and go to the mall and get pedicures.
What My Mom Likes: My mom likes me, the color green, my sister, my father, and roller skating.
The Most Important Thing My Mom Does: is take care of me and love me and be my mom and provide me with food and water.

After all these second chances and providing food and water, I'm feeling pretty good about my mothering this year!
