Now, I wait for the big day. I told my husband that Mother's Day starts at midnight, which means that if any child makes a peep before 7 am, I am off duty, but really, I could always use a good snuggle, so I'm sure I will still be on alert.

We had an interesting day(to say the least). Christopher broke out in hives and we don't know why. He is fine now and I guess we will just have to wait and talk to his primary care doctor next week. My dad was here visiting so we got to have a nice lunch out and we also went to an open house. This was the first house we looked at in our price range which wasn't a dump, but it was just too small for our over sized furniture. I was disappointed and wondering if I was just being too picky now. I know that God has something better in store for us, we just have to be patient.

I'm feeling better today. I still have a nasty cough which is making my throat hurt something fierce! I'm hoping if I get a good amount of sleep tonight I can sleep it off? Sounds good in theory.

Tonight as I nursed Evan I stopped on our small towns television station and watched a little awards show presentation. 5th graders wrote essays about why they think their mom is the best. One essay brought me to tears and made me miss my mom so much. It also made me hope that my boys feel that way about me.

I also thought of something special I would like to do for my boys, it's something I have thought about before but never got around to it/ it didn't seem like a big deal. I want to get some notebooks and record things in their daily lives. What a special keepsake this could be for them one day. Yes I have kept up with their baby books(for the most part), and I will sit down and work on scrapbooks one day(as their is no lack in photos!) But sometimes my boys do the funniest things and I wonder how long I will remember these things for. Evan ate almost a quarter of a bagel today, at lunch I turned around and he was holding Christopher's grilled cheese sandwich(I don't know whether Christopher gave it up willingly or if I am starving my baby), and he now makes the goofiest face where he purses his lips, scrunches up his nose and huffs and puffs out of his nose. He knows how funny we think he is so he keeps doing it! And Christopher, well tonight while I was helping him get his jammies on he said, "I am exhausted!" He is two, how funny is that!
I would like to start this journal tomorrow, so I will have to get to the store, hopefully I will remember.

Well, I should head to bed, as I would really like to feel better by tomorrow. Happy Mother's Day to all the momma's out there! Goodnight!
