I’m sure that many mothers are looking forward to lazy mornings of sleeping in and breakfast in bed. But I’m no fool. After three years of motherhood, I know that ain’t happening here. Perhaps someday I can guilt them all into it. For now, I will take my personal treat of sleeping until 6 instead of 5 . . . then getting up and having a cup of coffee in the quiet house. With two kids and two dogs, you don’t get much quiet around here.

To all the fantastic mothers out there, I hope you get your few moments of peace and gratitude today.

Happy Mother’s Day!
