Happy Mother's Day 2010

Well, I didn't have breakfast in bed, and I was woken up by Keith telling Emmy to be quiet as I was trying to sleep, but it's all good. It's a beautiful, sunny day in Prince George and Em's cough seems to be a bit better. *side note she has been fighting a nasty cough and cold for a week. No fever, thankfully, but her cough made her sound like a 3-pack-a-day smoker, which I am guessing she is not!

Em brought home a gift from daycare on Friday and was so excited, she gave it to me that evening. I did try to have her wait, but I gave in to the pout.

Emmy's Mother's Day Gift





Keith's gift to me (with my permission as he still gets mocked for buying me a bathroom scale for my 36th birthday. It's an Elliptical machine to help me in my weight loss journey. I have been working out daily on the treadmill, but just testing this machine last night showed me it will help big time! (Keith put it together last night as well)

So far it has been a good Mother's Day. I do get to treat myself to a Tim Horton's Ice Capp later on which will be sweet! (Part of my weight loss was trying to avoid the Iced Capp's but as I have not had one for a week, and have been under my calorie goal every day, and it's freaking MOTHER'S day, I deserve one! LOL

I want to wish all my fellow Mommies a wonderful Mother's Day. I know I am so blessed to have Emmy and I am forever grateful that I get to experience this amazing journey of motherhood.

Now if only the Canucks would pull their heads out of their asses and actually win tonight, I could count this as a perfect day.

Happy Mother's Day

I sit here and contemplate my third 'Mother's Day' blog post, and I cannot believe that this little wonder of a girl has been in our lives for three years. I know I will say it every year, but the past three years seem to have passed in an instant.

I took this picture this morning - Emmy actually gave those flowers to me on Friday when I picked her up from Daycare. Each child made one for their Mom - and it was so adorable. Emmy is so proud of hers, pointing out the stickers she put on the holder, "See the bumblebee sticker, Mommy? A bee goes Bzzzzz!" etc about all the stickers (there are about 20-30 of them)

Some recent favorite moments courtesy of Em:
Last night as I watched the Vancouver Canucks game, she was cheering "Go 'nucks go" beside me without any promting from me, she just started chanting it.
When she got her glasses and told me that she was beautiful, just like her Mommy.


I know Mother's Day is to honor the Mother, but I wouldn't be one without my Emmy. I am just so grateful and thankful for her. She brings our lives focus, constant entertainment, and so much love. I could not ask for more.

Happy Mother's Day

This day, not without it's deep reflections, is meant to celebrate us, Moms of the World. How lucky we are to have our children, and how blessed I know I feel everytime I look at my daughter's face.

My own relationship with my Mom has never been great. I think she always wanted a version of herself, and I am definitely not that. I haven't heard from my parents since Christmas Day and I have no idea where they are (this is their choice). However, even though our relationship sucks, I find myself missing her today...

On a less serious note, someone should tell Keith that it would be nice for ME to get to sleep in. Em woke up at 2 and at 7...guess who got up both times? Guess who is STILL snoring? (It's almost 9 here).

I won't give him too much crap - it is his only day off of work.
