Happy Mother's Day

Today was a wonderful Mother’s Day. I woke to see my children working together to make me breakfast. To see teenagers cooperating to create something for me is very touching. Then, tonight my sweet Nacho made dinner for me. It was delicious. I am very grateful for a family that loves me.

When I Knew We Had Become Rednecks

I am following along in the bug theme. I think Nablopomo should have used bugs as the theme this month, because I totally would have rocked with that subject.

I was planning hamburgers, but I just needed to put my feet up a minute because Cub Scouts wears me out. You know, nine-year-old boys and all. Fine, I only have one Bear, but he wears me out, okay?!

My Hero, My Nacho

Today Clarissa and I were out running errands all afternoon. That is so much fun to do with a 2-yr-old. I can hardly wait ‘til we get to do that again.
