Mother's Day

This day comes once a year and I'm eating it up. It's 3:48 in the afternoon and I'm still in my pajamas! I don't feel guilty at all. If I was in a flare I'd be in my pajamas too, but I'm not flaring today; fortunately.

My husband let me sleep in while he took the boys out for breakfast then he took them to the play land at Burger King to play.

Once I got up the boys were so excited for me to open my gift that my husband bought me that you'd think the boys were getting gifts. My husband was so thoughtful that he bought me a necklace that has a beautiful purple butterfly with crystals on it. The boys each made me homemade cards and they drew chalk people of me and them on our patio. My oldest son sang, "You Are My Sunshine" to me and my youngest made me a pin.

My mother sent me a gorgeous cross necklace that has a heart wrapped around it. My birthstone is in the middle of it and all four of my children and 2 grandchild's birth stone are going down the heart. I'm so spoiled by my family. I love them all and miss my family that are out of state.

Today puts me into a reflection of where I am  in my life and how far I have come through my trials and tribulations.

I'm very thankful for my family and my children.
