Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day to my mom, my mother-in-law, my two grandmothers and all of my friends who are moms! I have learned so much from each of you and you have all shown me ways to be a better mom. Warning: This post might be a bit sappy!

My mom has shown me the value of hard work, the importance of family, and the benefits of being direct and speaking your mind. My mom worked hard to create a great childhood home for me and her support and encouragement enabled me to become the person and mother I am today. Yes - this is a sappy post!

I am truly thankful to my mother-in-law for welcoming George into her family and supporting and guiding him during his childhood years.

My grandmothers have influenced me tremendously and have shared their years of wisdom as well as their very funny, interesting and usually thought provoking stories with me. They have made me appreciate how easy mothers have it today in many ways compared to my grandmothers.

To my friends who are moms - I enjoy sharing the stories - the good, the bad and that "what was I thinking" about motherhood. It is always helpful to know that I am not alone with my doubts and frustrations and that I am certainly not the first one who has dealt with a particular problem.

I hope everyone has a great day and that you don't have to: go grocery shopping, do laundry, clean the bathrooms, cook dinner, drive any kids to any events, or referee too many arguments. I'll be thinking of all you and will give you a silent toast on Sunday evening with my glass of white wine.
