Mothers Day

I want to take a minute and recognize my mom for being a great mom.  I think she feels bad a lot about being a bad mom.  Now that I'm a mom, I totally get that.  But I want my mom to know that she did a great job.  She taught me the value of being a good worker and to be responsible.  This has lead me to the job that I have now that I love.  She also taught me her testimony which is very strong.  She is a very good example of compassion.  She is always willing to help anyone.  I don't want this blog to be like a mothers day talk.  I know my mom hates those.  So I'll talk about some of her other not so glowing virtues.  Her sick sense of humor (which she has passed on to me and my children).  Nothing is funnier to her than the sound of someone falling down stairs or running into a glass door.  Her love of German potato pancakes is hard to understand. (Gross)  Don't even get me started on Shepherds Pie.  Oh but her ice cream cake!  So good!  It's my favorite.  She also makes excellent home made bread and taught me how to make excellent home made bread too. 

Now I don't want to forget MOM (My Other Mom), my mother in law.  She has put up with so much from me.  I know I drive her crazy with my indecisiveness.  She just needs to understand that where we eat is not as important to me as just getting to spend time with her.  Also my getting tired early is kind of a joke but in this case she needs to understand that being married to her son takes quite a bit of energy.  Just kidding, I'm just lazy.  But I appreciate everything she has done for me over the years.  She always made me feel accepted and loved. 

The next moms I want to recognize are my daughters' mothers in law.  I feel like they both have great mothers in law that care for them when I can't because they don't live with me anymore.  I am lucky to have that peace of mind.
