Happy birthday! Go out and celebrate yourself, girl!

I think the end of the school year brings out the worst in my kids. They’re ready for it to be over. Testing looms. The beach is within reach, along with freedom.

Strangely, my 5th grade son has been a prolific and spontaneous nugget these last few weeks. Something in the water perhaps?

Happy Birthday! And many, many more.

My birthday is this week and I’ve been showered–showered I tell you–with hugs this week. My boy hugs me every time he sees me. When your son who thinks he’s too old for everything does that, it means the world. My daughter has been making me cards and notes. Among the chaos, they let me know they love me. I’ll take it!

Enjoy your new digs!

I celebrate it every day. I remind my kids that the day I squeezed them out became the perpetual string of mother’s days that would be my life. That when my girls become mothers, and my boys fathers, they will completely understand all I put into them, and all I get out of them as well.

Sunday? Mine was spent nagging kids to put their things away as we (finally) settled completely into our new home for the long stretch. And I got some movie cuddles and, I think, a neck massage. I still had to cook for myself and everyone else, though, cause I was craving coconut curry.

Wish you well, Karen!

Mom told me I’d appreciate the skill of playing one day, but I didn’t….until years later when I learned to love it & I got to go to college with a full scholarship. It takes a great Mom to grit her teeth & bear the most annoying and frustrating of their kid practicing without breaking the instrument over their knee themselves…it’s even more of a miracle when that Mom finds the grace to be encouraging! Thanks for your post!

Enjoy your day.

I love this day because it’s confirmation that they don’t totally hate me. And it’s free desserts at restaurants all over town.
