Happy Mother's Day.
What a sweet day to be a mother. On Mother's Day! Every Mother's Day I thank Glen and Miranda for making me a mother. It is a special day for me. Being a mother is the foundation of my existence. The process of being pregnant and giving birth was when I finally learned to respect myself. My body knew how to create, support, and expel a life. (okay there's gotta be a more poetic word than expel!) But I digress....if my body could do that for my child, just think what it can do for me!
So before I go off and get too mushy, let's shift gears, shall we? Every Mother's Day Glen and I call my mom to sing her the Mother's Day song. We think it's been 15+ years that we've been doing this. You didn't know there was a Mother's Day song? Well, allow me...a-hem....
M is for the many things you gave me.
O is for the other things you gave me.
T is for the thousand things you gave me.
H is for the hundred things you gave me.
E is for everything that you gave me.
R is for the rest of the stuff you gave me.
Put them all together, they spell, MOTHER!
The beauty of this little song? You can sing it in any tune or key that you want....and we do!
I want to send an extra Happy Mother's Day to my Mommy!!!! I love you SO SO SO SO SO much! You make me smile...in fact, you MADE my smile! :-)
As for the local Mother's Day festivities, Glen, Miranda, and I met Casey and Amanda at Blossoming Lotus for a little snack then we walked around the Pearl a bit. Just a nice sunny morning.
After our visit, Miranda and I took Glen to the airport as he had to go to Callis Belle (is that the right spelling?) for work. Yay! Work! The very very cool thing...his flight to Callis Belle was in the corporate jet. S'WHEAT! I spoke to Glen just a bit ago (safely in Callis Belle in his hotel room) and he said the trip was beautiful. They flew over Glacier National Park and it was unbelieveable.
Some photos for the flight log....
Then inside the jet...
With Glen on his trip, Miranda at work, Casey and Amanda in their own place, I am now home alone. HOME ALONE!? What the heck am I doing on the computer!!! My plans for the rest of the day are to finish planting some vegetable starters, clean up my craft room, maybe read a bit, and watch Bee Season.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and Happy Mother's Day!!!!
Happy Mother's day, Michelle! I love the pix of the 4 of you! Glen and Miranda's pix are so adorable. I love how you said how Glen is spending time with his other woman, his airplane! Thanks for the lovely comments always on my lil' ol blog! I'm so glad that I have found you as my friend! Luvs Malou

OMG...I LOVE the words to that song -- SO funny! And everyone looks simply marvelous, darling. How exciting for Glen to be able to pilot the corp jet (he did, didn't he?) He looks like he owns the thing and by the way he is REALLY handsome did you know that? Happy Mother's Day, I LoVe LoVe LoVe yas.

Okay. Armchair traveler that I am, I looked for Callis Belle, MT on the map. Could it possibly be Kalispell?? ROTFLMAO!
