I always expect some 'special' treatment from the hubby and the girls during Mothers' Day. But today, because of the Pacquiao-Mosley fight (that turned out uneventful), I spent my entire day at home being, well, a mother. :D
...and so I was feeling cranky (yes it was that time of the month) and ‘harassed’ by the little rascals up until about 3pm when it suddenly rained hard and my mind drifted to the old times when I was still a little kid myself. I remembered how ecstatic my siblings and I were one rainy day when, after a lot of begging and pleading, our Mom and Dad finally allowed us to bathe in the rain with our friends, and so I thought I'd give the girls a treat! I went to the room and asked them if they would like to try to bathe in the rain, and although they were surprised and puzzled if I was really serious with my offer, they quickly replied ‘hell, yes!’ and off they went to the rain! :D I grabbed my camera and took some pictures of my little girls having so much fun in the rain, and as I watched them giggle and laugh heartily, my cranky heart slowly melted like butter and I suddenly felt humbled and grateful to the Lord above for telling me 'This is what Mothers’ Day is all about, Maan. Ain't it grand?' Amen to that!
So with some few bouts of crankiness (blame it on the PMS!), today was basically spent celebrating my 'motherhood' with the kids. After all, if it weren't for these naughty little things, I wouldn't even be part of this 'Mothers' Day' hype.
Happy Mothers’ Day to all Moms, cranky or not! :D
