Happy Mothers Day

To all those wonderful moms out there, Happy Day!!! Here is a little story to boost your confidence in your parenting skills:

We went to our favorite pizza place this last week. We haven't visited since before Julian was born so the boys were excited to go again because at the end of the meal the waitress always brings them "soccer lollies" which are lollipops that look like soccer balls. Anyway, the boys had been very good for me that morning while I had to drive an hour to a stake primary meeting, spend 2 hours in the meeting and then drive an hour home.

Hyrum was not feeling very well and had a runny nose but we decided to go out anyway. The first thing that happened was after the waitress left with our order Emerson leaned over the table to look at something and caught his hair on fire from the candle that was burning on the table. It only singed his eyebrows a little but it scared him a lot. Then Julian started fussing in his car seat so I stood up to pick up his car seat which was next to Hyrum and move him next to me. Well, I tripped on something and fell over, right on my back, and Julian and car seat went crashing down next to me. Luckily he was strapped in his seat still so he was just a little shaken up and not actually injured at all. Oh yeah, as I was falling down I hit the vase with flowers on the table next to ours and it too went crashing down and shattered glass everywhere. All this time Hyrum is blowing his nose and Emerson and Townsend are complaining that they are hungry.

There, now don't you feel better about the job YOU are doing as a mom?
