Mother's Day 2010

Today I count my blessings. Justin, Alex and Claire are beautiful, intelligent, healthy, involved children. Audra has become a cherished member of the family as well. Though it all feels precarious with Nicole gone and my husband relocating for work for the time being. I hope all goes well for him. I hope we fare well too. As essentially a single parent again, I'll have to stay on my toes.
I really have so much to be thankful for. Friends and family have helped me get this far. I am indebted to them for their love and support. I have a steady job even if it has become harder and we've had a pay cut. We have a home. I am blessed.
Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day

Here it is the wee hours of Mother's Day. My family is dreaming in their beds as I decide what to do for the day. I will be rousing them in a couple of hours for a trek to the beach so that I can have breakfast with all the most important people in my life. The ones that make Mother's Day meaningful. Have I told you they are amazing people? Each is so different, yet completely my favorite. It seems contradictory to have more than one favorite. It just seems to fit how I feel about them. My beautiful children. Each with their own perfect heart and mind. Each with their own set of talents. They have such potential. I hope I get to see the astounding turns their lives will take. I am blessed to be their mother.
