A day to celebrate the hardest job any of us will ever have! It seemed an appropriate day to open up this blog - I guess I really am moving into the 21st century and new technology!</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">So I love presents. I love small presents, big presents, home made presents and store bought presents. But my favorite presents are those that are an 'experience.' I just love it when my husband or kids 'arrange' an outing or adventure as a gift. This year they arranged for us to go canoeing! I was so excited. Visions of sitting at the front of the boat with my husband paddling and the sounds of the crickets chirping.....well, it didn't happen!</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">A freak storm arrived and we sat on the shore fishing! Because we were in a totally unfamiliar neck of the woods (literally) we did visit a cool little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that had the best tilapia I've ever eaten, and we were all together. So it was an adventure - just not the type originally anticipated. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The best part of the day came when the kids pulled me out into the driveway to show me what they'd made for me - a huge drawing that read, "I love you Mom!" I've included a photo so you can see their artwork. After all, it is the 'I love you's' that make this all worthwhile!</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Joyfully, </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Kim</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4233029172154896765-556557530577747782?l=working-mom-musings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02318071863001191093noreply@blogger.com0
