Mother’s Day 2021

It’s a Mothers Day 2021 surprise!

A Southcrest Christian Elementary Mother’s Day video,

My heart is just going to explode.

Awwwww.

Yall are just so darn cute.

T, you have moved from baby phase to ragamuffin phase.

Gone are the days of mellow cooing, easy naps, and fresh shirts from laying around in mom’s lap all day.

You hair is longer and always fuzzed into a mess.

Your clothes are always dirty from school – or crawling all over the floor at home on the weekend.

And you point and grunt at everything, saying a rudimentary version of “that.” You mean “look.”

You are a little hot mess express right now.

I mean, we got you home from school yesterday and your feet stank!

Babies feet are not supposed to stink!

You’re growing up.

You still have sweet little baby chub on your arms and legs though, and I try to kiss it as often as I remember.

My sweet beautiful girl.

I love you.

Whew, I was getting back into a routine, but I missed a few days blogging there.

This weekend was nuts.

Or – rather – I was a wreck.

My stomach felt sick Thursday night and by the time I got to work on Friday I was running at about 50%.

I left work at 10:30 saying I would hopefully be back after lunch – but I got in bed at 11:00 AM and mom woke me up at 4:30 PM with a 101 fever!

I sipped some Gatorade and woke up again around 8 PM, stayed awake for an hour or two, and then slept all night long like a dead log.

Saturday I felt better but was weak. But I was finally back to normal on Sunday.

Sunday was a big day with church – we worked extended session too.

K, I took you to Sydney’s birthday party at Blazing Bouncers. H, you went to Hannah’s house to swim. And, T, you napped with mom.

What a weekend.

It feels good to be back to myself again.

I love you.
