Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!!! Apparently there is no such thing as getting to sleep in on this special day, so we are all dressed and ready for church and still have time to spare. I was blessed with all kinds of gifts today! I got some new pajamas, a gift card to Old Navy, and a gift card to Massage Envy! Gotta love it! I also bought myself some new running shoes and used the excuse of Mother's Day to do it :) Possibly the best gift of all is that the SUN is shining today!

I got an email from my dad early this morning, wishing me a Happy Mother's Day...He included this poem that I (clears throat) wrote for my mom for her first Mother's Day. I must say I was very articulate at 6 months old ;) I wanted to share it here...

The Very Best Mom

Allison Schneck

May 11, 1980

These last six months, since I was born

I’ve met a lot of ladies

Who, like my mom, get all excited

Holding little babies!

They’re nice, and soft, and cuddly, too,

Though some much more than others.

It’s clear they’ve gained experience

By being someone else’s mothers!

They coo and goo and smile at me,

Creating funny faces,

And hoping that they’ll make me laugh

By touching ticklish places.

I’m glad they love me – I love them too:

Those ladies who like to hold me

They’re some of my most special friends

Of whom my mother told me.

But I’ve come to this conclusion,

Having put them to the test;

That when God teamed up my mom and me

I got His very best!

Twenty-nine years later, I still have the same sentiments! I indeed have the BEST mom in the world...and if anyone wants to argue that with me, watch out. I've been working out!

Happy Mother's Day to all!

Peace, Love and Mommies
