I have to say I really do enjoy Mother's Day. It is a time when my "bucket" gets full and I think that maybe what I do is making a difference and that my children really do appreciate the sacrifice and effort it is to be a mother.
Friday I went to "Muffins with Mom" at Maddie's preschool. She was asked the question: "What is your mother's job?" Her reply, "She takes care of our family." I loved that she sees me as a care taker of our family instead of someone who just folds the laundry or does the dishes.
Sunday I listened to a talk about mother's and the speaker had asked children in the ward to tell him why they love their mothers. I was blessed with two reponses:
Elizabeth (12) said the following, "Well she's been a very trustworthy mother who spends a lot of time for us and loves a lot I'm very grateful to have her as my mom I hope to be able to be an example to my children like she is to me."
Samantha (9) said the following, "My Mom set a good example for me to start my own garden. She also said that even if you get bad grades your parents will always believe in you. She set a good example telling me that I could do it on my multiplication, and I got all the way to my 9's. She is a great mother and she is helping me learn how to cook, and I have cooked several meals for the family. She also encouraged me to read the series of books "Magic Tree House". She's helped me learn how to do many things, and I love her for this. I will always love her because she is my mother, and she always encourages me to do the right thing. So you should always love your mother."
Elizabeth then posted this poem on Instagram. What a blessing that she posted something so sweet for all the world to see:
Moms
Moms are special
moms are kind
Moms are amazing
And we love you
From the time you taught us how to tie a shoe
From the time were you first said I love you
From the times you had to put up with our wighnings
From the time we hold you close from our crying
From when you would help us making us laugh
We love you mothers
One and all
Thanks from not just me but everyone
We would be nowhere without you
From mother to mama to mami to mommy to just plain mom
Thank you
We love you
Thank you mom, mami, mère, mutter, okaasan, mat', morsa, máthair, madre, makuahine, mater, ma, mother
We love you all!

John Derek made me a lego wagon, Michael went to nursery without fussing, and Derek made sure I got breakfast in bed and helped get the kids ready for church. It was a good day.
Happy Mother's day to you all!!
