The Next Holiday

With Easter over and done with we move on to our next celebration or two. Mothers' Day is looming on the horizon and that becomes more special as the kiddos get older. When they are little like our boys and Addy the concept is lost on them, but then so are their own birthdays! I know Mothers Day is not supposed to be about the gifts we moms desire, but let's be honest, I like presents!! I guess the gifts are our children. Okay, even I threw up in my mouth a little after reading that! Whoever said that about their kiddos and meant it never had five little people with the stomach flu at the same time. They never had a child throw themselves on the floor in front of a crowd of people because you took away something they shouldn't have. I don't think that person ever had a child tell everyone they know that their mom wears granny panties! Thank you Lexy. And I certainly don't think that person had TEENAGERS! Obviously Matt and I do not have a teenager yet, but I have experienced them and have also been one, we are preparing now! Kiddos in general are slimy, loud, messy, self absorbed little balls of fire, which sometimes turns into hot molten lava and they will turn on you in an instant!! I ask myself why do we all end up having children then?? That is simple, when they are handed over to you in the hospital and you are looking at that little face and playing with those little fingers, your doctor slips something in your drink that makes you want to take them home! No, really, there are many more wonderful moments with my children than there are hard ones. My kiddos can make me laugh until I cry and can make me melt with a few simple words. They are worth all the messes and sneezes in my face, most definitely.
