Mother's Day

I love my mom.

I think that mother's are not appreciated as they should be. Honestly, they have to change diapers....enough said. Ok, all joking aside, mothers are put through an awful lot and we might bring them flowers or buy them a card, but think back for a second. Remember when you were little and Mother's Day rolled around. We used to wake up early and make breakfast and sign a card "in secret" and parade into mom's room with her water and syrupy pancakes ecstatic to celebrate our mother. That's the thing though, my mom hates breakfast. So even when we were trying to give a gift, she was still being the loving mom she is and made sure to clean her plate. But that attitude seems to have subsided. We get excited about the day, but do we stop to truly think about the sacrifices mothers make? Or the effort they exert to raise us crappy kids? On this day, far away, I am thankful for my mother. And for my adopted mothers :)

Happy Mother's Day
