i'm beginning to realize

as mothers day approaches, i have been thinking about how my own wonderful mother has taught me many lessons about motherhood. and i get a lot of great things from her: my love for sewing, i dance in the kitchen (and everywhere), i laugh a lot (sometimes inappropriately) when i am tired, i dont get stretch marks when i am pregnant, and i like to serve others. she passed down all of these things to me.

something else i was realizing lately is this: why is it that sometimes we are so hard on the person who brought us into this world? the person who loved us first and most deeply?

we expect so much of our mothers. take, take, take- you know?

anyway, i was up in the middle of the night as usual with this kicking baby inside of me and i wrote something for oliofolio as i was thinking about this idea and it's called:

i'm beginning to realize - hope you enjoy. :)

Loved what you wrote Steph. You have such a talent. And, No. I wasn't at Echo's with the stair incident. But you told me about it that afternoon. So I thought about you yesterday after my incident with Eden at the grocery store. As soon as I shouted the words, I felt like all eyes were on me. I yelled at Eden to sit down on her bum, and then she started crying (of course). And then a few people in the store thought it was there duty to come and console my VERY naughty child. (Annoying) But yes, most likely you have several more "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" moments headed your way...very soon! And I am sooooo excited for you!
