So, how was everybody’s Mother’s Day? Mine was great! I am so blessed to be a mother. And this is the 1st Mother’s Day in years we didn’t spend in an ER or hospital at all! Brianna got a bad bladder infection on Friday before Mother’s Day this year so we went wherever we wanted to on Sunday! Last year we spent it in the ER. Another year I spent it being checked out at urgent care after a car accident. Another year was in the hospital with Brianna.

Getting to be a mom is only a dream for some women. And others may have lost their children. I can only imagine their pain. My heart goes out to all of the mothers who cried yesterday and longed for their children, while i was thoroughly enjoying mine. It almost felt selfish. How do you get through that holiday? If you have a story to share, please submit it!

We spent the latter half of the day at Cherry Creek Reservoir, soaking up the sun and having a picnic. Aside from the giant mosquitoes, we had an awesome day! Brianna collected an entire container of seashells. I was very surprised there were any there at all. After all, aren’t they from the SEA? Go figure they are also in a man made reservoir! It was very cool!
