To all the people who read my blog, that aren't at my house right now...
(or those at my house who haven't heard this story any of the 6 times I've told it...)
So, this weeked is Whole Earth Festival (click to read about it), and just about everyone we know is staying at our house... well sort of... we only have so much room, and there are some families staying at other families houses that live in the area and are generally connected to this group of people called Prodigal Project (again, click on it to read...)
Well.. more on that whole topic later...
So today is also Mother's Day, which is fitting, seeing as we were woken up at 6 in the morning by our oldest beauty queen, (who's only 18 1/2 months old) pounding on the window between her room and ours and screaming her head off...
Why all the commotion? Only a bed full of poop!!! Not a diaper full, a whole bed full!... And now I am dealing with the aftermath of laundry and dirty diapers and fussy babies, while hubby is off playing superhero missionary man....
Don't get me wrong... I don't mind really... I'll get there... eventually,"in your own sweet time", as he would say... and I guess I could have tried to go with the rest of the crew who rushed out in a whirl of punctuality that blew me away... but I don't know that I have enough diapers for the day... seeing as I do cloth, and our youngest has grown at a remarkable speed and is wearing the same size as her big sissy who's 16 months older than her... I think their new nicknames are gonna be "shrimp" and "jumbo shrimp"... can you guess who's who? I'll give a little hint... little miss jumbo shrimp is not even 3 months old, and has already doubled her birthweight, and probably weighs more than her sister did at 9 months old!!... but I guess that shouldn't count since the poor girl had lost a bunch of weight due to the combo of an unseen allergen in her food, a roto virus, and mommy being 2 months pregnant and still trying to nurse her... at this point I should mention that she's fine now, still a little underweight I guess, but she's really short, and actually a little pudgy... she started gaining weight again just fine once we recognized the wheat allergy (mild as it was), and took her off of that, started her on formula, and her body naturally beat the virus, which we couldn't do anything for but wait out anyway...
Well...enough of all that...
Lately, more and more I've really been coming to love being a mommy, and that's what really matters to me today, despite all these wacky tales I tell...
And more and more everyday, my own mother becomes an even bigger hero in my eyes, as I can only imagine, and relate to, all that she must've gone through raising me and my brother...
I love you Mom...

Happy Mother's Day back to you. What an awful present to get on Mother's Day. But just wait. I remember having to spend on with Rocco and his dying puppy at the animal hospital. That goes to the bottom of my list. And if you haven't felt the telepathic signals I've been sending you. The ones on the top of my list are the two days I became a Mom. Love and Kisses.
