Mother's Day

as mother's day approaches, i am feeling that feeling again....that "oh crap i forgot to get my mom something" feeling! well--lucky for me, we are already planning on spending the entire weekend together! actually, she is helping me work all weekend in Boerne, Texas. what an awesome thing for her to give up her entire weekend to help me. there's nobody in the world like you're mother. i see it with our kids too...there's just a certain something there that nobody can ever hold a candle to.
here are some other people's feelings about mothers:

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie. ~Tenneva Jordan

I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life. ~Abraham Lincoln



All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his. ~Oscar Wilde

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child. ~Sophia Loren

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes 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 our hearts. ~Washington Irving

Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not. ~James Joyce

so true.

so, to my mother, who has dug through the stinking dunghill that has surrounded me and found the person who i am proud to say i've become! there's absolutely no way i would be here today if it weren't for you!
i love you mom!
