Today is National Scrapbooking Day and I treated myself to an early Mother's Day present to myself...and I scrapbooked for a while. First time in months. Felt good.
This photo on this layout is probably close to Mother's Day 1962 where I was the baby in my mother's arms. Mom is still kicking and an amazing 86 year old who gardens for several hours a day, is on the town library committee, drives a woman my age to her chemo treatments 40 miles away every other week or so, cooks meals and desserts for those who are sick or bereaved in her church and basically is a wonderfully alive woman! How lucky am I to have her for a mom!!!
Speaking of mom's...when I was saying goodnight to Bailee just now, she told me she had a wish for me. She wished I was married, had two girls - one from my tummy and one from China. She said I would stay home and my husband would bring home dinner (how cool is that, married, stay-at-home mom and I still don't cook?!). He would make lots of money ($1000) and he would kill possums. He would go around the world killing things people didn't want. (Not sure how to take that or if she saw some exterminator show on TV). Anyway...it was a sweet thought, and I'm as likely to get this wish as she is to fulfill the mother's day coupon she gave me tonight for doing laundry for 19 days.
