Happy Retirement Mom!

My dad, sister, and I threw Mom a retirement party during Hardin-Simmons Homecoming this past weekend. It originally was scheduled for this past May, Mother's Day weekend, but because of my grandmother's passing we chose to postpone it.

It turned out even better because of the extra time, and thankfully so! She deserved any extra special thing we could throw in there for all the dedicated, hard work she poured into her jobs at HSU.

I am so thankful to everyone who was able and took the time to come honor and celebrate all the achievements, through God's grace and will, of this extraordinary woman - my mom!

You know you're a mom when . . .

. . . you hear yourself saying, "And that's why we don't tie ourselves to other people!"

. . . the thought of life without kids or before kids is impossible to imagine. You truly can't remember what you did with all those hours before children!
. . . your talking on the phone apparently sends out a signal to all your children to come directly to you and start asking you questions, telling you stories, or better-yet, the tattle-telling commences between them.
. . . you find yourself repeating yourself constantly. . . repeating yourself constantly.
. . . your kids are begging you to go home from looking at Christmas lights.
. . . you figure out why your parents had the rule "no singing at the table."
. . . you have to answer questions like "What does 'last week' mean?" and "Why did God make ants?"
. . . you get the priviledge of seeing the inside of every restroom of every place you ever go; actually a great way to get ideas for bathroom renovations!
. . . you rarely are in the bathroom alone.
. . . your accountability partners are ages 3 and 5.
. . . you find yourself going to the grocery store with a fairy and Spiderman.
. . . forgiveness is practiced on a daily basis, especially for you.
. . . you have to throw a birthday party for your dog - cake, hats, and gifts included.
. . . you have to add "take a shower" to your to-do list.
. . . you're the last one to eat; and you usually do it alone.
. . . you're loading the kids into the car at the store at the exact same time the people in the car next to you need in their car-every time.
