As Mother’s Day winds down, I want to address some things about moms:
1. My mother is probably the best mom in the world. Sorry, everybody else! I think she’s better than your mom! But things being what they are, if your mom was half-way decent, I can’t blame you for thinking otherwise.
2. My sister is going to be a great mom. Some women just have the right mix of fortitude, optimism, and insanity for motherhood and Rachel is one of these women. I can’t wait to watch her go through it (and not in some state of schadenfreude) because she’s just gonna roll with it.
3. Some of my favorite blogs are written by moms who manage to present themselves as complex, multifaceted, super-interesting women. Stephanie, Annika, Violet – I’m thinking of you! (Let me know if it’s okay to link to your blog and I will!)
4. Mothers-in-Law, while endlessly controversial, are also important. I hope that you have a good relationship with yours, and that you’re lucky like me and that she makes you’re life better and loves you as much as she loves her bio-kids. I miss her, but I’m glad that if she has to live far away, at least she lives in Hawaii, which makes the distance a little more bearable.
Yea! Moms! Woo!
Thanks sis.
I blush. thank you. love you.
