The kids (and Ryan) got me some great cards, beautiful flowers, and an item from my Mary Kay gal. Perfect. We enjoyed lunch at El Rodeo too... very nice.
It's a beautiful day out too, so that's even better. I hope to get a walk in after naps, and just hang out again tonight...
Overall, a nice day thus far. :)
I have a lot on my mind today... being a Mom and having a Mom who has Alzheimer's. I know I haven't spoken of this on the blog before... simply because it's something that's very concerning to me... and also private, but I also know talking about it helps. My Mom was diagnosed in January... officially. She's on medicine to 'help' it... I don't see her often enough, but my sisters say it has helped... reduces her repeating herself and questions. However, when I do see her, there's usually a lot going on (us being home - two little ones, along with getting everyone together), and I sometimes think that's too much for her. So when that happens, I personally think she has a 'bad' day. Anyway, we are getting through it... with lots of prayers and patience (something I need to work on A LOT). Either way, she's my Mom and I love her.
On to me being a Mom... it's by far the best thing that's ever happened to me. I have birthed two healthy babies and they are 'perfect' in their own little way. Kayson is feisty... very much a challenge for us lately, and I can only hope that he will just love me the way I love him. Cora is feisty as well! (How did I get TWO like that?!?!) She's our little sugar, and brings a new joy to us. I'm blessed to be their Mom!!
Here's to all the Momma's out there... I hope you were spoiled with hugs and love from your families.
