Mac and I attempting to get a photo of ourselves at his school's Mother's Day Tea on Friday morning.
So last year I talked about my mom on Mother's Day...this year I'm thinking about how I get to be a mom and what a privilege it is...all because of who I get to be a mom to.
Nowadays I often feel like I'm preparing myself for disaster...that all my parenting shortfalls will soon irrevocably damage poor Mac and all I'll be able to do is feel horribly regretful for the rest of my life.
Then I see his smile or revel in the fact that he's starting to really develop a killer sense of humor and I relax for a minute and think maybe, just maybe, everything will be okay.
Either way I'm damn lucky to have this chance...to have this child and be blessed that he calls me mom...or an occasional lingering "mommy"...or "mother" when he's annoyed because clearly he knows more than I do. :)
So what are we doing today to celebrate? Well currently I'm in the middle of this...
trying to finish up a little scrapbook to give my mom when we're having lunch in about an hour...better get back to it...
