Already?

Wow!  Did my youngest son really go to the prom last weekend?  My youngest?  Unbelievable.  He is adorable and I am old.

Double Whammy

Today two of the most important people in my life were born.  My mother, who gave me life and taught me how to be a wife and mother, and my husband, who made me a wife and mother.  It's kind of hard having both of their birthdays on the same day because I never feel like I give either one of them enough recognition and attention because I am always thinking of the other one a little bit.  I love both of them dearly and give them credit for making me who I am today.  My mother taught me the things that made me attractive to my husband and my husband has softened all my rough edges and loved me no matter what.  I feel bad for both of them because their birthdays fall at a tough time.  My mother's birthday is always only a few days away from Mother's Day so they just kind of get blended in together and my husband's birthday is only 3 days before one of our son's birthday so it's hard to not clump them together too.  I want both of them to know that I am very grateful that they are a part of my life and I love them with all of my heart.  Happy Birthday, Mom and Happy Birthday, Pat.  I love you both!
