A Baker's Dozen Mother's Day
1. Mother's Day has always given me mixed feelings
2. For a long time, I was angry with my mother and felt rejected and neglected by her. Why would I want to celebrate that day?
3. Lately, I've come to realize that my mother had her own big set of problems and issues and that she did not set out with the idea of ruining my life.
4. What goes around comes around.
5. I enjoyed calling my mother via the relay and wishing her a happy mother's day. I am happy that she and my dad will come up for Billy's birthday/graduation party
6. I enjoyed talking to Michele too. I'm looking forward to their visit.
7. I managed to get all the mothers day cards I needed to send off on time, along with notes from the kids in some of them. I don't think any were late this year!
8. I loved the beautiful rose Kristin got for me, the lovely card Heidi made and the beautiful musical plaque from the kids
9. If I'd known it would become such a beautiful day, I'd've wanted to go to the beach!
10. I'm happy TB got to have a nice talk with his mom on the phone
11. I enjoyed playing board games with the kids
12. The steak TB grilled was the best I've tasted in years!
This is the card Heidi drew
This is what it's all about

Thanks for playing!
