It's Mother's Day

"Happy Mother's" Day to all you beautiful Mommy's out there, to the future mother's, to the ladies who are motherly ( without children too).
And don't forget, if you are a pet owner, then certainly , without a doubt..Happy Mother's Day to you too!! I definitely celebrate being a Mommy to my doggie Hannah and my Kitty Chase and even Tankie ( the fish).

Here's where i'll start, going to the Doctor last week was a huge wake up call. There's too much to start with, but I'll first say I have a " complex pelvic mass" the size of a baseball inside me. Tomorrow is the MRI and surgery will follow with biopsy. I work in the Medical field, so besides my awesome OBGYN explaining, I know the deal ( either it's something or its not), its simple. All that said, this has been a eye opener for me. If you know me well, then you know I take any Doctor serious, but I thought I was invinsible. Apparantly not. Ive had health issues before, but this one woke me up!

I'm a Mother and Moms need to be tough! I can't let my little lady know I'm stressing out ( a bit). So I started making a few changes. For example, Nadine asked me to go down the twirly slide about 7 times with her yesterday , so I did! I don't care.. she had fun and so did I. Don't get me wrong, as most know I don't care if I make a fool of myself, because I rarely care what people think. But going down a twirly slide , besides getting me dizzy, lets face it, I prob look like like a crazy lady sliding down!

- Quess what? I don't care, its' ok to look like a crazy lady!! Nadine thinks its tons of fun to slide down with her Mommy, she thinks I'm awesomely cool (and I am COOL LIKE THAT -as long as I dont' puke).
Sooo it's changes like that, that I think are important to make. Because sometimes life throws us a curve ball! To wake us up, possibly. To slow down and smell the roses.

For the great news.. we found a house! Lets hope it goes to contract, a closing comes to be and we can call it home. My lovely, smart , funny Nadine is turning 4 and hubby is in great shape and a roll model to anyone who thinks they can't do it.. they can!

For today, I'm smelling the roses! Everyday, I love being a MOTHER! I sometimes feel like I'm the luckiest Mommy in the world. Having Nadine has made me a better person. Having her in my life has opened so many doors for me . Being her Mommy is a gift, everyday.
