Happy Mother's Day
It's on this special day that I say Happy Mother's Day to all the moms and moms-to-be out there, especially to my sisters-in-law, niece, and very special friends (you know who you are). I love you all!
To my mom, thank you, thank you, thank you for all the unconditional love and support. I'm eternally grateful and I know I'm extremely blessed to have you as my mother. I shudder to think where I would be without you.
Becoming a mom has been a dream come true. Being a mom to my sweet and spicy girl is absolutely the very best gig I've ever had. Petunia has taught me so many things over the past few years. Some have been wonderful lessons and validation that I'm not a complete failure as a mom. Some have caused me to take a long, hard look in the mirror and see a mom I don't want to be. Those moments are difficult but necessary. I'm trying to set a positive example for Petunia, and learning from one's mistakes, not to mention admitting you made them, is one of the things I want her to learn.
I'm working on finding a nice balance in all aspects of my life. I need it and so does Petunia. Those years of nearly no sleep took a toll on me and, while I know I have it easy compared to some, the lack of sleep did negatively impact me and my life. And that negativity had to have impacted Petunia as well, so I'm doing my best to find the balance one step at a time. We'll both be better off because of it.
I love being a mom and, in particular, I love being Petunia's mom. She's a treasure and will always be my biggest blessing. My cup runneth over... still!
I love her to pieces! (Poor little darling just cannot go without sunglasses. She tried for the photo, though.)
About two minutes before I snapped this photo, she said, "But I'm not tired. It will take FOREVER to go to sleep." Dramatic, much?
She still sleeps with her eyes partially open. I keep hoping that it's just a phase.
A mom-to-be right outside our back door.
We're keeping an eye on her and I must say that she's a good mom already.

Happy Mother's Day, precious friend! You are an amazing mother and an amazing person. I count my blessings that you are my friend!!! Petunia is a VERY lucky (and stinking cute) little lady.
I know it a little late, but happy Mother's Day. I really don't know how some people do it. With two of us it's always a daily challenge to get everything done. But I can’t imagine juggling everything by myself. You rock!
Okay, almost a week late but Happy happy Mother's day! You are an amazing mom..and a lucky one too, being mom to that gorgeous little lady. You and Petunia are both blessed!
