I really might have a Children's Day sometime. I want to celebrate my wonderful children. The past few weeks have brought some blows to my ego. I have felt like the world's worst mom. I know that I make mistakes and try to fix them. I am also willing to own my mistakes. I know that I am far from perfect. With Mother's Day coming I was feeling a little apprehensive. No need to do that. My children took care of me.
We woke up and went to a great Sacrament meeting. We were joined by Morgan, Colton and Lacey. After church, I came home to a freshly made bed. Carter had a leader drive him home during Sunday School to do that for me. He made me a cute note also.
I loved being outside in the glorious fragrance of the lilacs, where Steve brought me an icy glass of homemade apple juice- the good blend! We enjoyed the songbirds and breezes with the subtle notes of the wind chimes. I remembered how Hayden had stayed up late to rub my feet and pamper me.
Morgan arrived in a while and I thoroughly enjoyed her company. She was soon joined by the rest of my adorable children. I was showered with gifts. Carter gave me a miniature rose. Hayden some chocolate cherry sticks, Lacey is making me a beautiful cross stitch. Morgan gave me Cuttlebug Accessories. Marinda gave me fun paper for cards. Jeremiah and his family brought beautiful pictures (love the subjects in those pictures), flowers and a chocolate pretzel. And Stephanie and Richard brought music. I loved it all. My sweet daughter in law Marian really must have felt how much I needed her. I just loved the whole day. We played Barnyard Croquet and the day just raced by. I am so blessed. It all began with being married to Superman...but that story is coming in a few weeks.
Thank you! Thank you to my perfect children. I think the best thing about Mother's Day were the notes from my children. I will treasure them always!Thank you to my mom, who loved me and gave me the gospel. Thank you to Mom Johnson for Superman! Thank you to my grandchildren with their unconditional love.

You are a fabulous mom, don't think otherwise. Even on the not so stellar days, we all have them!
Fabulous post!!! I'm glad you had a great day... remember the recipe club right after Mother's Day when we all told our Mother's Day horror stories? They were pretty funny now that we're looking back. I'm glad Mother's Day is so much better now... I loved it too.
That was a wonderful day. I loved it. Thanks Mom!
