Another Mother’s Day, come and gone.  I can’t believe how fast the year seems to go once it gets to be Spring!  My day was fine.  I got a good amount of scrapbooking done and Mike made me my favorite enchiladas for dinner.  Since I was home and so were the boys I didn’t have a complete ‘alone’ day – the boys needed me a few times and I had to go to Meijer for a little while to prevent a complete Matt meltdown.  And I had to make my own breakfast. And no cards. Or gifts.  Well, except for the fact that Mike did all the dishes!  That was nice!!  So it wasn’t a perfect day, but that’s ok, too. 😀

And I did get this email from my mother-in-law this morning.  I’ve very lucky to have a wonderful mil – I know a lot of people don’t.

I want to take this opportunity to tell you how happy we are that you chose to be Mike’s life partner and, in reference to this day, to be the mother of our grandchildren.  You bring so much to their lives and if you stopped doing everything else that you do and just continued being Matt and Preston’s mom your life accomplishment would be formidable. Their lives are blessed to have you and so are ours to have you as a member of the family. 

Well, since today is the start of the new healthier me, I am going to take some measurements and weigh myself. Blech.  And get the playdoh out for Matt who was suddenly inspired to make balls.
