Happy Mother's Day!

To all the wonderful mothers I know, and mother's-to-be, I wish you a FANTASTIC day! I feel really blessed when I think about my Mom, Mother-in-law, and Grandma's today and what role models they are to me. Sometimes (like others I'm sure) I wonder if I can ever measure up to my mom when it comes to raising my own daughter. The following questions run thru my mind: Will I drop whatever I'm doing at any given moment, at least once a day, just to chit-chat? (Hopefully K even wants to talk to me that much!) Will I remember all of my daughter's friends from high school on, and continue to ask about them now and then? Will I promise to watch Oprah everyday in case something that that could potentially save her life one day is discussed? Will I remember to make bran muffins immediately after my daughter gives birth to alleviate any potential for constipation? Will I be the example that my mom is to me in caring about (and for!) the people that cannot care for themselves, including her mantra that "people matter more than anything"? Will I sit my daughter and her husband down for fun tasks such as figuring out their personality type or their "love language" because I really care that they have a great marriage? Will I remember to lovingly fill her inbox (both voice and electronic) with messages such as 'don't forget to watch for deer' and 'The Bachelor's on Oprah today'? Will I forgive her for moving halfway around the world routinely? (never!) Will I tell her, often, that she looks great (when she really needs to hear it), is a fabulous decorator (not true but v. appreciated) and a good cook (again, not true, but effort rewarded so also appreciated). When she comes to visit, will I wake up early to serve her coffee cake in bed and stay up late enough to watch all the really fun shows? More importantly, will K look at me and also wonder; "How would I ever make it a day without my mom???" I love you mom, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. See you THURSDAY!!!!!! A mud wrap at the spa awaits :)))
