Willow dressed for the Mommy and Me Tea
Thanks to the clever musings of my super-talented Southern MOMentum writer-friend, Stephanie Armstrong, I can take the rest of the weekend off. She's given me a great post that I'm sure you'll enjoy; consider it my Mother's Day gift to you, if you're a mom, and some very good advice if you are married to a mom.
I am sort of working today: I'm guest-blogging over at TheWorksofGodDisplayed.com, a wonderful blog dedicated to special needs ministry in churches, so if you'd like to read about my experience with "angels," give that one a look.
In the meantime, please forward the following to everyone in your family, but particularly your kids' father ...
10 Things To Avoid On Mother's Day
by Stephanie Armstrong of Southern MOMentum
This is what Willow did when the teacher asked the group, "Who has the best mommy!" FYI, that *is* me she's running to.
If there is one thing I have learned about being a mom, it’s not about what you receive on this, *ahem* … magical day. It’s about what to avoid. I thought I would rival our very own The Life of Dad daddy blogger with a follow up from his Things to Avoid on Fathers Day. Let’s just call it a subtle wish list of our own …
Number 1: The term “Go ask your mom.” We’ve got it covered the other 364 days. Today is all you.
Number 2: Any mentions of Halle Berry’s figure or Jessica Biel’s abs. You may have forgotten. I am not your college roommate.
Number 3: Conversations starting with “So what did you do all day…?” You may not live to see Father’s Day.
Number 4: Anything on TV that involves World War II or the letters E.S.P.N.
Number 5: Bodily fluids of any kind. This includes the daily deposit from the cat.
Number 6: Attempts of escaping (alone) to Home Depot or the golf course. Not happenin’.
Number 7: Having to wear anything made from silk or scratchy lace. Newsflash: We like cotton.
Number 8: Any contact with wadded-up, inside-out socks or the mountain they lie in.
Number 9: High fives or any conversation involving the Panther’s #1 draft pick. (see rule #4)
Number 10: Any mention of NOT spending money. You want to put a permanent smile on our faces? Hand over the Visa.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Willow is so adorable! So is the deal that Billy is your doppelganger and Willow is her dad's?
Thanks
