oh mother...

we all know that this mothering stuff is...what is it exactly? the hardest, most heart-wrenching, conflicting and loveliest thing i've ever done in my entire life? 

thank heavens i have all of you to look to...

so to all the mothers out there---

-the ones who have it all together
-and the ones who show me it's sometimes more fun not to

-the ones who inspire me to do better
-and the ones who let me know i'm doing ok

-the ones who remind me to be in the moment
-and the ones who remind me that sometimes for sanity-sake, you have to check out

-the ones who call themselves mommy and mama and grammie and nana and act the mother to so many
-and to the ones who made me mimi

-and of course to my mom, who always reminded me that i was her favorite youngest child---

to all of you, because without you i would be utterly lost.
thank you!  happy mothers day!
