<p>HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!</p>
<p>To all of the CC moms, hope your day is as special as YOU are!!! Enjoy!</p>
<p>love, ~berurah</p>
<p>berurah, you’re especially blessed – 6 kids plus a whole passel of “adopteds” must make Mother’s Day great at your house. Enjoy those roses and chocolates!</p>
<p>jym, your S2 sounds a lot like mine - what a sweet kid! It’s those uncharacteristic moments that stay with you the longest…</p>
<p>nacnlmom, how great to be smothered with kisses this morning, AND for getting to sleep late!</p>
<p>My H called from Spain this morning to wish me a happy Mother’s Day, and S1 called an hour ago and said that he was planning to drive home today to surprise me but the highways have been closed intermittently because of the smoke from the wildfires in Florida and he wasn’t sure that he’d be able to make it unless the winds change. I told him not to risk it and just to come home on Tuesday as planned.</p>
<p>Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms of CC!</p>
<p>patsmom, I know it was soo much better than making a different breakfast for all 5 kids!!! When we came back from church my dad was asking S1 what colleges he’s thinking of applying to. (He’ll be a senior next year) and when he was listing them I realized that soon he’ll be an adult, heading off, and I was in tears practically in two seconds! </p>
<p>Patsmom, I’m sorry that S1 and H can’t be there, my brother and his family were going to come over too today, since they live farther away, but they couldn’t because their youngest is sick!</p>
<p>Enjoy the rest of the day CC moms!</p>

<p>Now THERE’S the definition of “mama”!!! 
We stopped our son from flying home on prom weekend to take his gf because of the tornados in Dallas. He wasn’t all that happy with us <em>lol</em>, but his safety was the thing of utmost importance to us. And he understood and respected that (so did his gf). SO glad that your DH called from Spain to send you MD wishes!!! Hope your day is relaxing!</p>

<p>This weekend I don’t have to cut the grass–my boys are doing it!</p>
<p>And next on the docket–haircuts for the shaggy guys who just came home from college! Their hair is actually very cute (their father had long hair in HIS day) but not office-appropriate and I do want them to keep their summer jobs longer than 1 day. 
</p>
<p>Bar-b-que tonight for Mother’s Day. All in all, a great day!</p>
<p>Here’s a refreshingly honest Mother’s Day card (that had me with tears down my face as I viewed it).</p>
<p>For every mom out there…Happy Mother’s Day.</p>

<p>“just” amom-

<p>"just"aMom~</p>
<p>UH…THANKS A LOT!!! :eek:</p>
<p>Now, my kids <strong><em>WILL NOT</em></strong> let me quit playing that card over and over and over and over…<em>ROFL</em> 
:D</p>
<p>Hee hee!</p>

<p>Happy Mother’s Day, everyone! We were supposed to go out of town this weekend but plans changed - of course that meant there was not a single brunch reservation to be had in town. Not to be outdone by a mere restaurant, the whole crew stepped in and whipped up a scrumptious homemade brunch. It was actually really nice to avoid the Mother’s Day brunch crowds for once, although that’s always a fun tradition, too. We went for a long hike on some local trails after that so all in all a fun day. Enjoy!</p>
<p>“just” aMom, Thanks for sharing that ecard - SO funny!</p>
<p>just a mom=love that card.</p>
<p>Son called!!! I was outside doing gardening after the rain quit. Now I’m looking forward to the move him home trip (H is on call, can’t change it, so it’s just me) the end of the week.</p>
<p>I got a nice card from D. She’s become very “cause-y” so she made sure to include the slip that says the card purchase promotes women’s literacy in India. Then she wrote it again in her note in case I missed it. :)</p>
<p>Aren’t they funny? They think we’re dense when we’re actually alert to every nuance of their lives…except when we really don’t care, which is generally at the wrong time (in their eyes.)</p>
<p>happy mothers day!</p>
<p>i have a coworker who lives about an hour from me, and i had a hair appointment at her house sunday morning at 11, so i spent the night at my boyfriends (it’s only about 40 minutes from his house). by the time i got home to my house it was about 2:30, i spent about a half hour or so with my mom, and then she left to visit my grandparents. i thought she’d come home and i hung around till about 630 and she still wasn’t home, so i left and went out with my friends.</p>
