Well, on this day the world was blessed enough to get MEEEEE :). HAHA! Although I am pretty 100% sure that there are times that the “world” has wondered just how much of a tornado I could be :). By the world, I am speaking in reference to my parents, my family, my friends.. those that were put in my life to love me and teach me how to be a better person. MY day, according to my birth certificate, and the day that has come to bring me blessings of love and happiness from the birthday salutations I receive, my day had a beautiful beginning. It, not so beautifully began with a serenade from my husband, it was howled something like this- GET UP SHAWTY (shorty, for the non rap listening folks), IT’S YOUR BIRFDAY, WE’RE GONNA PARTY LIKE IT’S YOUR BIRFDAY.. (lyrics to a song for all you non rap listening folks in 2002 :)). Dear, please go to work :). From there I trekked to the kitchen, my eyes half closed to routinely get the cup of coffee that I get every morning. What was not routine was the card that was in my coffee cup cabinet from my beloved baby daddy. So sweet, right? I ain’t done! From there I get ready, ready to take the day on (that ended up to be quite the annoying day at work with the challenges put before me), I go get my beautiful boy out of his peaceful slumber (I say this because AAAAMEN, momma was not pulled out of her peaceful slumber by bellows over the monitor- HAAAAAAPPY BDAY TO ME!), THIS AMAZING BABY BOY, has written a card and put it in his diaper drawer for me to find when changing him :). WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE SUCH A FINE BEGINNING :). A break away for lunch with Mom and Bubb was more than needed, and I felt a little less frustrated after taking the break. The day will draw to an end with momma gettin’ to enjoy a beautiful huge globe o’ margarita, and lounge the night away, fighting any urges to clean, or do anything. Because by God, this is MY DAY :). Besides, I was absolutely in love with this weekend and all that I got to do in observance of Mother’s Day/ Birthday, which I share, because I share my bday weekends with a beautiful being.
That is where this lady comes to mind.
MYYYY MOMMA. Who just so happened to grace her momma with HER presence the day before my birthday as well :).
My mom is that of an angelic person to me, she and I have always had a great relationship. She has always been someone that you just knew would be there when you got home, she is the one that we could expect to be where we needed her to be.. running us from the way too many directions that we asked her to go in at one time. There were never questions asked if our demands were extreme. I think about my future with Brady, should we just have one son, and think.. what in the world will I do if I can’t just come home and enjoy the rest of my day :). Even though I will looooooove when he is involved in sports, all that she did with THREE of us that were very active, amazing lady she is. I never, ever remember a time that I needed my mom, and she wasn’t available to me. She was/ is always there. She was there to make sure that the same meals that we now put on the table for our family’s, was on the table- warm, delicious, and ready to be devoured when we were endlessly growing up. She is the supporter for us that no cheerleader could out do. She is the one that loved us with no judgment, she always held us close. She is my best friend, and my strength in ways I never thought possible. She is the one that helps me to find my way as a mother, and supports me when I find myself questioning my instincts. She is the rock to my ability to go back to work, to make a living so that I can provide my son all that she so generously gave of herself when I was a wee tot as he is. She has made my life rainbows and unicorns :), and I feel total peace with her in my life and with my son able to be with her. I know that as I went through my growing pains as a new adult (if that is what you called it, I don’t think I did anything to deserve that title :)) there were times I was a stubborn brat (for lack of better words), but I now cannot imagine not speaking to her almost every day. I know that I cannot expect her to open up an elementary school so that I can keep Brady with her ;), but I sure will miss it when he goes to be a big boy in school (ew!).
Mom, you are my rock, and I love you more than I would ever be able to express. Thank you for always being so kind, always teaching me the right thing to do, always being so caring and supportive, always showing your love no matter what challenge I may have brought into our lives. Thank you for being there to pick me up out of the hole I was so good at digging myself into. Thank you for always giving all of yourself to all of us (I still don’t know how you did that), thank you for the roof that you have always provided over our heads, thank you for the meals on our plates, thank you for the many trips to Mr. Gatti’s ;) (had to lighten that up, I was gettin’ a little teary eyed over here :)). Thank you for being you, for always staying strong with your beliefs, and strong with your actions. YOU are 100% of who I want to be, of who I hope to be for Brady as you are for me. You are THAT person in my life and I love you very much.
Which brings this little guy to mind.
MYYYYYY BUBBIE.
YOU, my baby boy.. Where do I begin? The light that you have brought to my soul, to my life, to my spirit, it continually grows brighter every day. Every day you are more to me, although if you asked me the day before, I would never imagine that loving you more would even be possible. I am constantly watching you, running through the house from one NO-NO to the other, shrieking with excitement because Lord knows it gets a chase out of us (you loooove some chasin’), and I think… HOW IN THE WORLD DID MY WORLD EVEN WORK PRIOR TO 11/21/2009. The emotions and the different things that you have brought into my life, they make me excited every day to walk into that room every morning to pick you up and snuggle before the madness begins- LIFE. You bring me to reality with stopping to smell the flowers, just slow down and take it in… this happens when of course I am running late, go in to get you out of bed, which you are full of giggles and wanting me to tickle you before picking you up. I tell myself, slooooow down, these days are going by quicker than I ever noticed life going. When I get you out of bed, EVERY.MORNING, you lay your head on my shoulder, snuggle your arms in to me and just hum, it is probably my all time favorite thing, besides when you snuggle to go to bed in the evenings. I hope you are always a snuggler, because lord knows, if you aren’t going or getting out of bed, you aren’t snugglin’ :). You have way too much to see/ do in your mind. You have changed so much in my life, AND MIGHT I SAY THAT NOT ONE THING HASN’T BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER. I will always be your biggest fan, I will always love you with all of my heart and soul, and every part of me. I will always be here for you. I will always provide a good life for you, and always have a meal on the table and a roof over your head. I will always have an ear, and a soul that is ready to listen and give you advice. I will always have a helping hand to help you back up if you fall. I will always try to teach you the best, and give you the best of my love. My heart will always be wrapped up in you, and I will do all that I can to bring you happiness, strength, love, courage, and be able to protect you and keep you safe in my arms. This was my 2nd Mother’s Day, I can’t believe it was already my SECOND one. It’s going by quick baby boy, but I have learned to live in every moment that you give me, and soak it all in so that I never forget the good times that you have brought endlessly to our lives. I love you for that, I love you for your kind (and feisty ;)) soul. I will always love you, you are my world, and I am so very proud to have you for my son and to be the one that God chose to be in your life. You are my blessing and I am lucky for the chance to be your mother, and the one that you have blessed.
Growing oh way too quickly!
Took mom to Cafe Blue on Lake Travis for some yuuummmy food, and oh what a beautiful ambience!
We (Brady) are picture hatin' these days, the smile comes AFTER the flash.
My sweet pops
This face spells FUNNNNNN! HAHA!
OK, so this picture craaacks me up.. Brad wasn't being patient with the camera which was annoying me, and Brady was not smiling unless he was tossed in the air first (I learned that after this attempt, see next picture, and the picture above this one :)). It just cracks me up, such happiness and rainbows in that picture lol.
And then we got this picture, a few minutes later.. I LOOOOVE IT!
Being thrown up in the air is the best...
Stopping the throwing up in the air game, is the worst :).
