Happy [Almost] Mother's Day!

When it comes time for my little human to actually notice I'm his mom and to call me mommy, there are several things I hope for. Here are a few of those hopes:

I hope that I'll no longer run screaming from the room at the sight of a spider. Mom has to take care of the spider... that's sort of part of he deal as Mom, right? Maybe I can always get away with saying, "Let's go get Daddy to take care of that spider." I hope that works.

I hope that a deep affection for pickles and pancakes, though not necessarily on the same plate, is hereditary.

I hope I have a good pair of Mom Hands, like my mom.

Most importantly, I hope that I create as patient and loving, supportive and hilarious family as was provided for me.

Happy Mother's Day, to all of you who also have the patience and care to raise new, happy, lovely people in the world.
