Mother's Day = Off Day

It's impossible to separate my personal life and my "work" life because I love them both. So, occasionally, there will be some overlap. Like now. Cause it's Mother's Day and I have to brag a little.

Don't be fooled by the blonde hair. They're all mine.

At the risk of sounding cliché, I'm just going to say it. My kids are (and always will be) the most magnificent thing I have ever done. I am in a state of constant amazement that I had a hand in creating such fabulous little (if I'm being honest, they are not so little) people. While they do generally torment and terrorize me, I am thrilled with being their mother. They are funny and good-hearted. They have warped sense of humors. They love to read and try new things. They are respectful and a little messy. I never in a million years thought I'd be a mom and I still can't believe we've managed to keep them alive this long, but I am so thankful to have them. I look forward to seeing them learn and grow. I think they will do great things, but I mostly just want them to be happy.

My babies - happiness is seeing them smile.

With that being said, I have two "off days" a year - my birthday and Mother's Day. As one of them is upon us, I am taking full advantage of all the perks it entails. No housework of any kind, no feeding or locating lost items, no answering questions or phones....My very capable husband will be handing it all while I enjoy reading trash literature and watching girly movies. I may even paint my nails! All of them!

So, to all you mothers (on the off chance there are some reading this blog), Happy Mother's Day.
