I blogged about it, but Companion pitched a fit (because it made him look like an a**), so I removed it so he would stop being a schmuck.<BR/><BR/>Oh dear...am I a bit bitter??? ;)mommy~dearesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07851309941513538983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-78865729895008864362008-05-12T06:14:00.000-05:002008-05-12T06:14:00.000-05:00Belated Happy mothers day. :)Belated Happy mothers day. :)Casdokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497897393162856190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-18184357779256764262008-05-11T18:57:00.000-05:002008-05-11T18:57:00.000-05:00I hope you have a lovely day. You are without a do...I hope you have a lovely day. You are without a doubt on my list of Top Ten Mothers I've ever known. Seriously: <BR/> <BR/>10. You gave birth to Chip. I don't know if it was a 48 hour labor or a planned C section, you gave birth after 9 long months of waiting. <BR/>9. You chose to be a mom to kids that you knew would not be perfect in society's eyes. <BR/>8. You keep going to work on days you'd love to go back to bed. <BR/>7. You plant a garden and nurture THAT as well as your children. <BR/>6. You dream and hope for all your kids and don't see their disabilities as limitations for a full life. <BR/>5. You fight like a dog with a bone in IEP meetings. <BR/>4. You have been able to get others to help you fight the fights for the rights of your children. <BR/>3. You don't shatter into a million pieces when Ashley has a terrible seizure or Jessica has a meltdown with aggressive behaviors. You deal with it. <BR/>2. You make sure all of your children will be good and kind members of their communities when they are grown up. <BR/>1. (drum roll) AND you have all of your kids doing their own laundry from the age of 12!!!!!!!!!!! <BR/> <BR/>Love, <BR/> <BR/>JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-947964490177680498.post-79736217509425313512008-05-11T15:51:00.000-05:002008-05-11T15:51:00.000-05:00Jake's never going to say the words either. He's ...Jake's never going to say the words either. He's pretty expressive, though, so I've had my hugs and smiles, and the flurry of arm waves that he does to celebrate. It's actually pretty sweet, and more unique than words.<BR/><BR/>We're not big celebrators in general, so it's not all that different from my birthday. I open the gifts the kids made at school, and whatever I bought for myself and put in a gift bag (this year, a lovely big Indian scarf in black and golds). We take a picture, call both grandmothers and maybe go out for ice cream or a walk. I think they're making me scalloped potatoes later, too. Yum.Penny L.
