Mother's Day

Yesterday was a good day for us. We spent it together as a family. However, I feel kind of strange celebrating Mother's Day in the traditional sense. It seems weird to me that we would need to set aside an entire day to honor our mother's now that I am a mother. I feel honored in so many ways every single day by both my children and my husband. I don't want a day off from them. I don't want things made as easy as possible. I just want to be surrounded by my children and my husband and have them know just how much I love them and how much I care for them. My children give me things every day that make me know how special I am to them, their smiles, their pleas for help, yes even their clutching onto me for dear life (although I am not so good at handling this one at times) while screaming at the top of their lungs that they do not want to go to class but would rather stay with mommy and daddy. I just feel weird being the mother being honored I guess, because I feel like instead I should be thanking each one of them for making me a mother as this is the fulfillment of one of my heart's greatest desires!
