Today is that one day every year where we are reminded to thank the woman that didn’t kill us during those snotty teenage years. Hopefully our mothers know how much we love and appreciate them every single day of the year.
My Mother’s Day weekend started on Friday when I attended the tea party given by Ashley’s Preschool. I got to meet Ashley’s best friend, a cute little girl named Emma who will be going to Kindergarten next year. Sophie and I exchanged contact information so maybe we can do a play date or something with the girls this summer. I would like to invite some kids from Ashley’s Preschool class to her birthday party if we actually have one this year. I feel like I’m being pulled in so many directions that I’m not sure how I would even manage it. Life was so much easier when I was just an adult, although I have no regrets that I have become a ‘MamÃ’.
On Sunday we participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure at Mall of America. My mom, Ashley, and I have been going to this event since Mother’s Day 2009 when Ashley slept the whole time in the stroller. It is simply awe-inspiring to see a river of people marching along the course. There are always people in the crowd that stop to hug their moms at the 1st mile marker while the volunteers with megaphones cheer us on from the sidelines.
I hope all of the Mom’s out there have an absolutely wonderful day!
“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity take the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to us.”
- Washington Irving
