Please don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the extra attention I get from my girls on Mother’s Day. I got a couple of sweet little cards and a whole lot of kisses!
But with church and work to do cleaning out the last of the things in our house and visiting the storage unit, along with all of the regular mothering duties, today was pretty much like any other day.
The day also came with some hard family news which made the sing songy Happy Mother’s Day feel desperately sad and out of place.
I am so fortunate to have an amazing family who love and appreciate me all the time. I may have been a bit melancholy on this, my holiday, but the sheer number of amazing days I spend with my girls, husband, parents and family far make up for it.
