The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly...

To Mothers who truly do the best they can

through the good, the bad, and the straight up ugly times...

and still make a sliver of time for sanity....

You are amazing.  

You are enough.

This has been my Mother's Day weekend. 

The Ugly:

Four doc. appointments.

3 antibiotics

1 steroid

and still croupy

All I can tell you about this picture is that I spent 30 minutes cleaning up what appeared to be this item all over the steps, to the bathroom, and a trail to Connor's room.

Temper Tantrum-

I won't let her eat the chapstick.

My Mother's Day Lunch-

We are broke.

(see new shoes below)

Note to Teacher

Me: Why did you throw mud?

C: I have no willpower.

Me: We are writing your teacher a note of apology.

C: I don't care if I get dirty.  Why do people care if I get them dirty?

[sigh]

Our church group changed venues.  Basically, the craft I executed- 

nail polish fumes + two groups + small room= 

TOTAL asthma attack on the way home.

Overpriced shoes, 

for little wide feet

These two pairs are more expensive then all mine combined.

I still have the first ones we bought Connor (at the same shop).

Which reminds me-
I'm old.

Weekend Allergies= No Energy

 The Bad:

Lemon

Bad

Really

Bad

We I wrote down the wrong date for Cagney's Party.

:(

Missed it, but we plan to make the next one.

Me- Connor can I open my Mother's Day gift?

C: I don't care. Its in my bag.

[dig crumbled gift from bottom of bag.]

Me- I love it, did you make it?

C: No, my teacher did.

I'm hungry.

Sweet but crumpled.

I mean really flattened.

Temper Tantrum-

I don't want to go.

Laundry ALL day.

ALL day.

Carlee uses food as hair gel.

Still finding pieces of this around the house.

The Good:

Leading the Pledge and Scout Pledge

I snuck out this week and got a 

manicure (happy mother's day to me).

My sweet hairdresser T. gave me the works, and we chatted like two hens the whole time.

heaven.

No words needed-

but

Connor a. led the prayer this morning  b. opened the door for me

"Dear God, thank you for moms...."

New shoes work like a charm.

I saved the bracelet!

Sweet notes to mothers.

Sunshine

These two did so great with their part!

Spring Program- Frog and Toad

I will tell you Connor had an additional cute part with his friend Ms. E.  Ms. E. is one smart cookie!!

I sat beside this girl's mother and she said to me "Ms. E. has been so nervous about saying her part all week."

To which I said,

"I didn't know Connor had a part until he told me as I walked into the gym today."

BOYS.

[Carlee I expect you to tell your mother everything.]

I wish I could show the whole show, but I will keep it at the opening....

Kissy Baby Cheekies

Exploration

Sweet text from GOOD friends

Happy Mother's Day
