Never Too Late For Mothers' Day

Here we are on Mothers' Day morning. My crew and me. I am so blessed to have them.

Rick took the day off so that we could all go to church together. That is a rare occurrence when your husband is a pastor. We rode together, checked in the kids together, and left together, all in the same vehicle. It really is a novel idea. Not sure if most think about that as being special unless they never get to do it.

We got Chipotle for lunch. No, we did not eat at the restaurant. That would not have been enjoyable. We brought it home. Chipotle is one of my favorites.

I took a nap, probably my favorite thing to do these days. It doesn't happen very often, so when it does, it is special.

That night, Rick and I went to see the movie "Babies." It was cute and interesting to see different cultures. Honestly, the African and Mongolian lifestyles were the most appealing to me. They were simple and loving and were not based on material things. The Americans annoyed me. I think I just get tired of all of the "stuff" we have and things we do that we think are so necessary to life.

I am starting to let go of some of the "stuff" of my life. It has too strong of a hold on me sometimes. That is a whole different post.

For now, I celebrate the calling that God has given me as a mom.

Now, I must go to "mom duties." I have 6 kids worth of clothes to organize, sort, and get ready for summer.
