Happy Mother's Day!



Like every other mother, I have a lot of moments when I think I'll go crazy if I have to sweep the kitchen floor one more time. Moments when the whining is enough to drive me crazy. Moments when I would like to stay in my cozy bed instead of getting up in the pitch dark to make a little person breakfast.

But I also have moments, like today when Caroline drew this picture, where I can't believe my good luck. It's almost too much. I get all this? I get to be the mommy in this happy little family? I am very mindful that life could have turned out differently, but it didn't. I'm a mom. I'm the mother to two amazing little people. I am so, so grateful to be a mom. I am so, so grateful for my babies.

Happy Mother's Day!
