Today was Mother's Day here in the UK, or as the locals call it, Mothering Sunday. We decided to just go with the ol "when in Rome" idea and celebrate today as well. I actually prefered it because Mother's Day always falls on the Sunday before our Anniversary, and so it's nice to spread it all out, ya know?
Church was great, always so refreshing and fulfilling. The boys sang with the Primary some beautiful Mother's Day songs and it was so wonderful. I cherish those primary singing moments. The primary here is small and so I could actually see the boys the whole time which was super nice.
We came home from church and Todd and the boys made me my favorite breakfast ever...crepes! They were delicious!
We took naps and the boys played and then Todd and the boys made Sunday dinner, which was more of my faves, BBQ ribs! Then I was showered with lots of love, hugs, kisses, compliments, cards, and a spa gift certificate which was JUST what I wanted. I felt totally spoiled.
It was a wonderful Mothering Sunday! I am so grateful to be a mother. Being a mom was what I always wanted to be when I grew up. I know that sounds cliche, but it is true. Being a mom is the hardest thing ever. It is absolutely a 24 hour job, and I have earned every single one of the grey hairs that I dye every six weeks! I have literally sacrificed all of my time, my body, and all of myself for my boys and by doing so I have found out the real meaning of love, found out who I really am, and got a little peek into eternity. I hold dear every single day I have with my young boys knowing that soon enough they will be young men. I hope that I am doing them justice, I know that they have been the three greatest gifts of my life. They are my jewels.
