A little romance

We were in his bed, it was dark.  He wrapped his legs around my back gently and pulled me into him.

"I could stay like this forever" he whispered softly in my ear.  I hugged him tightly, knowing that someday, much sooner than I'm ready, he'll leave me.

"You feel like heaven.  No, you feel better than heaven."  

I swear this boy is going to give Danielle Steele a run for her money.

Happy Day

To all of you mamas out there:  Happy, happy Mother's Day!  I know that it's one of those Hallmark Holidays, but I still appreciate it.  Son #1 gave me an early gift today with this story:

"I was out in the driveway this morning and I saw a flash of blue.  It was the brightest, most amazing color of blue.  It was a jay.  It was so beautiful, I sat quietly and watched it for ten minutes.  It was so beautiful I started to cry."

That, my friends, is a Mother's Day gift.

Last, but not least (sniff sniff)

He (9 year old son) made this one for me:

He knows that giraffes are my fav "wild, land mammal" (such classifications are necessary in this household).

And I got 6, count 'em, SIX Os on my "so" for pretty.  Totally worth the saggy boobs.
