Happy Mother's Day!
I just want to wish all the mommies out there a very Happy Mother's Day. I had a very nice one, despite the unseasonably cold weather, rain, and high winds today. I was served muffins and coffee in bed, and my present was a new office chair (no more falling on my ass while blogging...) which was apparently the Bug's idea. We headed out for brunch at 11am, and I had a mimosa and awesome stuffed french toast.
The rest of my day has been spent doing my usual Sunday stuff; gym, painting, etc., albeit with a bit of a warm fuzzy.
I am still really in awe at the whole motherhood thing. I think having children makes us stronger people. Kids are at the same time your greatest weakness and your greatest strength; they provide the impetus to be a better person, to care what happens after you're gone, and to continue to learn and grow as a person. Every day I'm reminded (and humbled) that I don't know everything. And no matter how bad it gets, I know that I have the unconditional love of this incredible little person. It's not always easy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

the chair was totally her idea. 2 years old and she has better ideas than I do...
