Me eyes are burning.........

from tears leaking out of them all day long!
It's mothers day and I think I cried happy tears for at least 70% of it. I woke up this morning after a long night (a four hour stint with Sam at LETICIAS COCINA with food & salsa dancing last night) to the kids singing to me. To be honest I didn't know where or who I was....hahaha! Aww how cute the kids little faces were.....they crawled up on the bed, showered me with gifts and cards. So sweet and cute! Jacobs efforts to, and I quote "tug the heartstrings", was successful and the leaky eyes began. Breakfast in bed and off to church.
The talks were awesome and the kids sang to all the moms. I ate chocolate - seriously I need to give the stuff up but thanks to "me da" in Ireland, I caved and felt I deserved it on st. paddys day because of my irishness.
Sam and the kids made dinner, yummy marinated chicken and lobster tail. Hmmmm, I dont eat lobster but I guess Sam figured for his once a year dinner, he would make something HE liked. It's ok, afterall I wouldn't be a mom without him? It's a stretch I know.......
We all gathered on the bed and watched EXTREME MAKEOVER, which now I remember why I stopped watching. The eyes are raw from the tears! So cute.......mothers day special.
So now Sam is watching "Sister Wives"..... ya I know.....and if you dont.....it's a show on TLC about a polygamist family WHO ARE NOT MORMON but for some odd reason Sams finds fascinating....this is the man I can't get to watch any movie that's not drama, drugs, cops, or psychological thriller. Go figure?
During the week Baili left me this little note in the mirror of my visor in the van. All day it made me so happy. Every time I saw it I thought of how cute she is and how much I love her and her budding personality. She is such a good girl and does a lot to help me and our family.
I love being a mom, well most of the time. Sometimes its the hardest thing in the world but I wouldn't change that I have the most rewarding job EVER!

So sweet. Jacob's always had a tender heart, and Baili is really such a good girl :) Glad you had a great day. I am concerned about a few things:

Lobster Tail...I would not have it in me house.

Sister Wives...I hate the dude's hair. Also, my husband said I can't watch it because he feels like we are supporting polygamy if we do. I guess I'll stick with the Kardashians.

Love you!

You were spoiled rotten. As you should be. You do so much for your family, and everyone else too. Glad you had a lovely day with Sam and the kids. I'm glad you've been keeping another blog to post all about your projects. You always have some project going, I'm glad you are sharing all your hard work with the rest of us ;) Is Sam thinking of adding some sister wives to your household, ha ha. Maybe just one, she could be the cleaning lady more than a wife.
