Happy Mother's Day!

Just want to wish all of you wonderful mother's out there a very Happy Mother's Day! Enjoy the day - relax - take time to enjoy being with your family.
And now a poem about "real mothers" I found while searching the web that caught my interest. Enjoy!

Real Mothers
Real Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it.
Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox.
Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.
Real Mothers know that dried playdough doesn't come out of shag carpet.
Real Mothers sometimes ask "why me?" and get their answer when a little voice says, "because I love you best."
Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade. . .It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mommy to Mother.

A Good Day - UPDATE

This is how a good day turns into a not so good day...

Dog poops on the rug after having chased and attacked the vacuum
Clean rug - try to keep girls away from wet rug - while trying to start dinner
Last minute change of childcare for following day (nobodies fault - these things happen) but it makes for crazy last minute changes to plan and drop off/pick up which then makes for a very cranky husband (because he hates change of any kind and gets anxiety over it)
Screaming girls while trying to get them dressed into their pj's for bedtime
An hour of a half of studying...

And now - bedtime.

A Good Day

Both kids slept until 6:45 - Mom got to sleep in!!
Breakfast, baths/shower, laundry, dishes, beds, vacuuming done by 10:30am - no whining or fighting yet!!
Out the door for a nice walk through town (as little as it is) - still going strong!
Lunch, cleanup, more laundry, both girls down for naps by 1pm - time to relax!
