You do things that matter, you fight the perpetual uphill battles, you love your son like crazy even as you feel like you may be going crazy. Happy Mother's Day!

This is truly atrocious and I can't believe that something like this even happened. <br /><br />Okay. That's not true. Kids are mean. I had a similar incident happen to me on a school bus when I was 6. A bully (who was a guy) picked me up and shoved me head first onto the seat and into the wall. I jammed my neck all up. It was awful. I never rode the bus again after that, and that kid ended up getting kicked out of school years later for awful behavior (small, private school). But yeah...terrible. I'm so sorry for you and your son.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963328013166742713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468720099351084079.post-51597743844655517432010-11-04T09:05:53.017-04:002010-11-04T09:05:53.017-04:00Thank you Cate for taking a moment to reassure me!...Thank you Cate for taking a moment to reassure me!

My husband and I go every couple of years and we act like big kids and stand in line to see the characters and go to character meals. I don't think you can go to Disney "too late".<br /><br />If you have time check out Sunshine Rewards.

Just to reiterate what you already know, you are a powerhouse of a woman and a mother. <br /><br />Having known you for quite a while now, a third of our lives , eeek when did we get old, I can honestly say that no matter what is thrown at you and mister man, you will prevail as you are a strong, sensible and overall caring individual. Through all of life's trials and tribulations pre and post Mami phases you have been able to make lemon meringue pie out of the lemons life hands you, and some that we inadvertently choose for ourselves. Do not let anyone ever tell you otherwise what you are worth and how strong you are. If you ever need that lil kick in the pants to remind you, give me a call and we can recall fond memories of dressing rooms, to LBI, to talks about hair, to delivery's of nursery items, to carepakages, to dropping by on my way to Reno, to annual christmas shopping, and the list that we will make in the future.<br /><br />Love always,<br /><br />Your Jersey Girl...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05498912068904509650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468720099351084079.post-26844847179256314292010-08-27T20:08:13.404-04:002010-08-27T20:08:13.404-04:00Unending thanks dear Liesl for your sweet words an...Unending thanks dear Liesl for your sweet words and the knowledge that in this day and age where many people don't back up what they say, you actually do. <br />I'm glad my writing reaches you and even more glad to know that there are parts of it that speak to something you yourself know and understand.Leannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10643287046297329135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468720099351084079.post-22189973550773212452010-08-27T15:05:41.939-04:002010-08-27T15:05:41.939-04:00I really enjoyed reading this as I was sipping by ...I really enjoyed reading this as I was sipping by chai latte and as always it was so well expressed...you are wonderful with words!<br /><br />I have to give you so much credit for all that you do, I am always so happily amazed by you when you through all you have to do, lot of which is on your own, you remember my birthday, special holiday and even unique moments in my life and find the time to send me something special right on time...it always warms my heart! :)<br /><br />I truly believe you are capable of declaring who and how you want to be in regards to your future, just as you believe you can!
