Right at this minute I am not feeling all that pshyched about Mother's Day. I have had two straight days of running around doing ten million things and I am feeling worn. Now it is 9:14 p.m. and I still ahve to make 12 more cute flower pots for MD decorations at Linger Longer tomorrow, frost a couple of cakes, do the dishes/clean the kitchen, vacuum the floors and fold and wash more laundry.
The kids woke up early and I heard whisperings of covert MD craft making and I think that they are great for doing that. The living room is a mess now though--but Kevin is picking up. On Mother's Day I would much rather have something that my kids made or a reminder of how/who they are at this stage in life than anything that they could buy.
I wish I could post something more positive right now. I have had a great time these last 2 days because some of my running around had to be for parties and whatnot, I am just not feeling all that enlightened right this minute. Tomorrow is a new day and (most likely) a new outlook.

I think maybe you need to cut back on some stuff. You really don't have to do it all. I had an enlightening experience back when we lived in WA (that was 20 yrs ago! aaagh!). A member of the bishopric called to ask me if I would do/make/bring something for an upcoming Ward activity. When I hesitated, he said, "you know, you can say no" -- That comment changed my life! The Spirit testified to me in that moment that what he said was true -- it's ok to say no to some things in order to give yourself the time (and sanity) for the really important things. All I needed was "permission" and now I'm giving it to you! Happy Mom's Day @:>
