Mother's Day

or the return of the black plague...whatever you want to call it....Mother's Day was wonderful and full of the stresses of motherhood, I guess is the best way to put it. J came down with the stomach bug that I had been fighting all week and was completely out of order. He did get me cards from himself, Drew and Muse that were wonderful and a gorgeous lilac tree that will forever remind me of my first Mother's Day. It was definitely bittersweet. How much more can you miss your own mom on your first Mother's Day, especially when you're sick and just wish that she was there to take care of you as well as celebrate my own new motherhood. I truly missed her on Sunday and couldn't shake the feeling that things would have been so different had she been able to be there with me.Anyway, my first Mother's Day was amazing and truly made me realize how very blessed I am to have Skelly in my life. I can't imagine it any other way.
