Th...All I can say is I married an AMAZING woman! <br /><br />They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder-- I was not sure it was possible to grow any fonder of my dear Nancy-- but it has. <br /> <br />Even with the mixed feelings Nancy has towards Mothers Day, she is an amazing wife and mother. Just thought everyone should know.Scottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705334611820960948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147355651380057974.post-65235667717311300422009-05-12T13:26:00.000-07:002009-05-12T13:26:00.000-07:00I think my exact words to Mike when we got into th...I think my exact words to Mike when we got into the car for church on Sunday were along the lines of 'next year what I really want is to be alone somewhere doing nothing- can we arrange for that next year? A day completely off.'<br /><br />But then in r.s. they passed out STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE!!!! And we all ate and chatted for 30 minutes before the lesson and none of the ladies had to do their calling, they were all in r.s. together sitting and enjoying the lesson and a fresh treat.<br /><br />I agree, it's a conflicted day where I feel torn between being selfish for once and doing nothing, but then making sure my mom feels appreciated, giving mike the opportunity to aprpeciate his mom, and also remember how much I love my kids despite the fact it's the most thankless job in the world no one is ever fully perpared to take on or ever feel fully adaquite at.<br /><br />I can't imagine adding a loss of a mother into the mix and the sadness and loneliness that would accompany the day for me in addition to all else. I wish you didn't have to miss your mom and that she was still here. <br /><br />Dude. We totally ride bikes on the Sabbath. And you know, I think if the family is together enjoying each other it's between the family and The Lord how the Sabbath is spent the way that family needs it to be. I'm glad you are posting- more please! I love your writing style.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079756058366447255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147355651380057974.post-4811342385669943912009-05-12T12:07:00.000-07:002009-05-12T12:07:00.000-07:00Thanks for the shout out :) I usually try to put u...Thanks for the shout out :) I usually try to put up a good front on MD. I have to like it for my little ones who make me things in school. Maybe my dislkie of MD comes from my own mother. SHe used to leave on MD and check into a hotel. I get it now! My very best mother's day I' ve ever had was the one when my mom and I left for the weekend to a B & B. Best Mother's Day EVER!!!! I think I need to change the way I view the day, though. I want to enjoy each tender moment with my kids, just not only on mother's day!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10745553655405249747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7147355651380057974.post-1115761522785214062009-05-12T11:32:00.000-07:002009-05-12T11:32:00.000-07:00I will jump on the bandwagon of a mom who doesn't ...I will jump on the bandwagon of a mom who doesn't really enjoy Mother's Day and before this year, I would have been way spirited about it but just when I thought I would write off the holiday for a loss...here came this year and it was good. very, very good. Not because of gifts, but many small acts of service for me and my family that suddenly all became visible to me on that one day. Because of this outlook...one of gratitude. I couldn't help but enjoy the day. You continue to inspire and amaze! 3 more days, right?!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16047820509628768035noreply@blogger.com
