In my saner moments (when the kids are in bed) I ask myself the same question. Your uncle is right! This will probably be the only Mother's Day (so far) that I will REALLY remember!

How could you EVER be upset with such beautiful children? My favorites are "Trinity and Blake in the Tree" and "Aiden Thinking". From the other side of the coin ... such lucky children! I use to have an uncle that declared that a little bit of crisis was a valuable part of every occasion like weddings or Mother's Days. It helps you remember them. So 20 years from now, you'll be able to say, "Remember that Mother's Day I spent cleaning up crayon barf?" I just ran across your picture album.

I my self had a wonderful day planned and ended up getting dehydrated and loosing my cookies on the drive home from a near by arboretum. I then spent the 1st part of my evening lying in bed wondering “why, why today”. My husband then brought my some Pediaylte and I felt better. Thankfully we have Pediaylte on hand!!

It was on the way home from Tropical Smoothie that I remembered about those flowers in church. And I was thinking, wow, Mother's Day like this sure beats the heck out of being in church for three hours in anticipation of gettiing a little flower from a twelve year old boy.

I worked all day. My mom was sick and stayed home from church. I think she was just avoiding the extra-fakery that slimes from the pulpit when those crappy flowers get passed out at the end of sacrament meeting. ick. Who doesn't miss that?

It helps clean up spelling and grammer too. Terry, Write your comments using a word processor and then cut and paste them into the comments area. It helps clean up spelling and grammer too.

I realize now that it has to do with the addition problem. I guess its some kind of control device. But it has caused me to waste a good deal of time. Not a very friendly feature.

Today my little guy puked on my clean white pants (right before we were supposed to leave the house) and I got mad at him. :( Certainly not one of my finest parenting moments. Happy Mother's Day!

Thankfully she is alright now. I know how it must have been for you and all the thoughts that probably ran through your head before you knew that she would be fine.

We planned on having a nice relaxing day, but it did not go as planned. My bad day extended into today, though. We woke up this morning to my daughter running into a wall and crying because her legs didn't work. At first I didn't think much of it, but it continued after she woke up. My husband and I were trying not to panic and did little tests to see if she had feeling in her legs. Everything seemed to be fine, but she couldn't seem to keep her balance. We decided to give her a bath and as I was washing her hair, I discovered a bump. When I looked at it, I saw that it was a tick. So, we jumped out of the tub and went to the doctor to have it removed. I mentioned the balance problem to the doctor and we discovered that she had tick paralysis! I did not know about this. I guess female dog ticks release a neurotoxin that slowly paralyzes its victim as long as it is attached! It is most common in girls under age 10 (don't know why). Anyway, we had the tick removed and by dinner she was walking and playing like she always does. So, I'm hoping I can have my happy mother's day tomorrow :) I hope you had a better day today!
