Mother's Day to me is being woken up at some time around 5:30 AM by two extreemly excited children who can not wait another second to give you your Mother's Day Presents. Although all you really want to do is sleep for another hour, you make yourself wake up, because they have no clue that you went to bed only four hours earlier because of a cookie baking fiasco that went horibly wrong.
Mother's Day to me is walking into the Living Room to find your kids being so sneaky peeking around the kitchen counter, and playing along when they jump out and yell "SURPRISE! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY" when they see you walk into the room!

Mother's Day to me is spending hours trying to get kids bathed & ready for church on time, while also trying to round up the things that you need for your Primary lesson, & getting yourself ready too!
Mother's Day to me is just getting started putting on your makeup when you realize that your son somehow got the little handle on your lufa stuck between the two parts of the faucet in your shower. It dooesn't take you long to realize that the rope is NOT coming out of there, and the water won't turn off until it soes, so you hurry to the kitchen, grap a knife, and saw that thing apart!
Mother's Day to me is getting back to putting your makeup on, when you hear your five year old daughter say "I need to put on my face for church" Knowing that this is code for "I'm gona put on make up now", and also knowing that she is already clean, and dressed for church, you drop what you are doing, and run like a mad woman to her room, just in the nick of time before she starts applying the bright green eyeshadow from her little play makeup bucket!
Mother's Day to me is finally finishing getting everyone, and everything ready, so you jump on Facebook for a second, and you don't have much time so you write a simple

Mother's Day to me is jumping up with tears stupidly streaming down your face for no good reason, and running to find the sharpee that you hid from your daughter after she used it to draw a face on the closet door!
