Let's go back over a week to Mother's Day. I can't have a blog all about mothering four-n-more and not mention Mother's Day. Aaron and the kids made breakfast. The kids sang in church. We had dinner at my parent's house with my family. AJ gave me this picture of myself.
You have to love the sunglasses. I'm so cool! I've debated about putting a head shot on my blog. Maybe I'll use this one. It looks just like me.
My close friend Charlene sent me a card that read "It's Mother's Day -24 hours of thanks and appreciation....surrounded by 364 days of reality. Enjoy it while you can." (How true that is).
I love Mother's Day, then again, I am a mother and that is how it should be. The kids were great and I love having a day all about me. I know so many women that don't like it. There are the women who are not married, those who can't have children, some women had horrible mothers, and there are those who are mothers but feel guilty for not being the "perfect" mom. It seems, all these feelings come to a head on this day.
I think it should be day to celebrate womanhood, not just motherhood. Although, being a mother is part of being a woman, there are so many wonderful gifts we have as women whether we have children or not. I think being feminine is something all women should celebrate.
My sister's friend told me, "Happy Mother's Day!" I replied the same to her, she is not a mom so I hope she didn't find it offensive. Every time Savanah told me "Happy Mother's Day". I told her the same. I hope someday she is a mother, and if not than I hope she uses this day to celebrate simply being a woman.
