Happy Mother's Day to me

It's a week early, I know.

Today was an awesome day.  Awesome.

The whole weekend has been amazing, truth be told.   We finally had nice weather around Seattle.  It's May.  Did you hear me say FINALLY?  I think this entire city has been suffering from cabin fever.

What really makes me happy, though?  My eighteen year old senior spent the day with me in Seattle, taking her senior pictures.  We had a blast!!!  People watching, snapping shots, eating a crepe at Pike Place Market....it was an awesome day.

For those of you who are parents of almost-grown children, you might be able to understand exactly why this made me so happy.

For those of you whose kids haven't reached the age where you're not cool anymore...enjoy these days.

And for those of you who have yet to experience the joy of kids... call your mama or daddy and tell them you love her or him.  K?

Do it.

Now.
