I joke (and sometime I’m not joking) about the trials of being a mom but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  I’m blessed to have an amazing husband and wonderful children.  I love being fortunate enough to celebrate Mother’s Day as a mom. I share this day with Sabrina’s birthmom in my heart.  I am so thankful to her for allowing me the privilege of raising our beautiful ray of sunshine.  I hope that someday she can meet our amazing girl again.  And Tessa? I have no words for that child.  She is just hilarious and makes me melt with her huge hugs.

I woke up this morning to find a sign written by Sabrina.

I received my gift about a month ago.  It is in the running for the best gift ever.

As always, Steve ordered my favorite cake.  Brusters coffee ripple ice cream cake.  Yum.  It turned out to be the ugliest mothers day cake I’ve ever seen.  I’m wondering if they are allowing small children to do the decorating at the local store?  But who cares? It tastes amazing.

Steve was here for part of the morning and then had to leave.  He is on a plane this very moment heading to California to meet and train for his new job.  The looming week of single-mom-hood is what prompted me to laugh at the card at the top of the post.  But y’all know I wouldn’t trade it for anything.  Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers.
