Night after night, I keep realizing that I have forgotten to make one or more phone calls! What is it with me and phones?? I think about people all the time and think that I will call them "later" but that later always turns out to be too late to call, so I think, tomorrow, but then tomorrow becomes today and again it gets too late to call... what a vicious cycle!
If anyone reading this thinks they might be one of the people I should be calling, please accept my apology for not getting on that phone!! I will soon... I hope!

Mother's Day... how we depend on it!
Okay, it's not always easy to be a mother... especially if you've got more than one kid, because even if you're being a stupendous mom in the eyes of one, you might be on the outs with the other, and you can multiply that and shade it accordingly by child if you have more than two...
So we come to depend on Mother's Day... it's our security blanket... we have a chance to sit back and sigh in relief that our kids DO appreciate us enough to make a big deal over us once a year. That gives us courage.
With that in mind, I just want to thank my kids for thinking of me on this Mother's Day and showing me they're "with" me, either physically or in thought... and also thanks to the kids who aren't really "mine" but remembered me anyway! Makes me feel good - like a real Mom.
And considering that I don't get a chance to really "be" that wonderful traditional mom - the kind of mom I had growing up, it's a relief to know you guys don't hold it against me!
I'd also like to mention my great sister-moms! It's truly wonderful to have sibs who pat you on the back so to speak for the good work you're doing, and whom you can pat on the back too for their wonderful Mom-ness! Thanks to you my dear sisters!
And finally, I'll take this opportunity to let my own Mom know that SHE has ALWAYS been the world's MOST PERFECT MOM!!!! Couldn't have gotten this far without ya, mom! Love you soooo much!
To all of us mothers - let's give ourselves a hand!
