Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own. ~Aristotle

I spent my lunch hour cramming down a sandwich and picking out a few Mother's Day gifts. I have 3 to buy for. Yes, you heard me. The one I was born to, the one who took me on when she married my father and the one that took me on when I married her son. There are plenty of others out there that helped raise me, (you know the saying) but I can't buy gifts for all of them--although that'd be a surprise for them wouldn't it? I found this quote, (btw I love quotes and sayings) which so reminded me of my own mother and then of course of myself and what I'm experiencing as a mother: "When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child." ~Sophia Loren, Women and Beauty Wow! Doesn't that say it all. None of us, and I mean Bill Gates included have enough money to repay our mothers for what they have done for us. How do you repay someone for giving you life, love and the recipe for mud pies? Hope the three of them love their gifts! We'll see...
