ALWAYS
(this is the song I sang for the Standard Chartered Bank commercial)
Mother's day was sweet here. Started with wrestling in bed (forget breakfast when you have 2 boys) and after church, spent time looking at pictures. We missed our moms... so a little blue, but excited about our trip to USA next month.
I always have deep heartache when they make a fuss over moms at church...I refuse to stand up. My little protest on behalf of all the single and childless wanna-be mother's who are hurting that day...I'm weird...but it's my conviction.
My mother always commanded us to NOT make a fuss over her on Mother's Day. She thought it was a commercial plot from Hallmark...said, "LOVE ME WELL the rest of the year and you don't have to make a special day for me to assuage your guilt for how you've neglected and taken me for granted!" My mom's a piece of work. I love her!
Kids are in the middle of exams...Chinese tomorrow. We've really been enjoying our kids these last few months. They are fun little terrors. So different, but they love each other. I've tricked them into extending the years they want to come in and snuggle with mom and dad in the morning: I bought a down comforter and exquisitely fluffy down pillows (even though we live in the tropics- we sleep in air conditioning!). It is so cozy they come in every morning...
