Mother's Day Thoughts

...It's been 6 years since my mom died. I still miss her, a little, every day. Love you, Mama.

...My children are blessed to be surrounded by strong, caring women who are additional "moms" and "aunts" and "older sisters." That means I'm blessed, too-- I'd hate to be doing this job alone. So, love and good wishes to Kim, Sandy, Paulette, Heather, Susie, Sarah, Pat, Denise, Judi, Sharon... and all those who care for kids in innumerable ways, outside the bonds of biology.

...The best gift of all: spending the day with my family; and, for one solitary afternoon, doing no homework!
