For mom bloggers, the day after Mother’s Day feels like December 26th. You know, like you’ve just slid butt first into home plate and now you’re waiting for the dust to settle in your hair.
I. Am. Tired.
Also, incredibly grateful, lucky and loved. Here’s why:
In the past few days, I’ve been able to …
...sign my books at Borders...
...coach (and play) soccer in the rain (Yes, it's fun!)...
...with a bunch of boys who have a great sense of humor and a back-up of laundry at home...
...appear on CNN International to talk about Mother's Day (even though I went in the wrong door. I found my way to the studio eventually)....
...help coach the team to victory on Mother's Day after an hour-long delay of the start of the game due to a situation beyond our control...Sorry fellow moms...
...have a great Mother's Day meal cooked by my husband Pete (and overseen by my father-in-law), while my son Nick coined the phrase, "Where there's smoke, there's Pete."...
...and apparently celebrate other holidays at the time...
...It's the Fourth of Thanksgiving Mother's Day!...
...No pressure, Pete, but your father-in-law appears to be hungry...
...celebrate Mother's Day -- and 2 1/2 years in remission from cancer -- with my family. My mom is on the left and my mother-in-law is on the right. I am crouching so they don't look like they've shrunk.
All while some wonderful mom bloggers shared my Trust Your Gut, Mom video with their own network of moms, so we could all get the word out together. Check out their take on the video and all things moms:
