Happy Belated Mother's Day!
Where to start.
Well, we had been getting smiles from Baby J for a week or two before those pictures, but we hadn't been able to capture them on camera. He has been smiling even more lately, and especially so if he sees me or Ryan and he hasn't seen us for awhile (when I get up with him in the morning, or when Ryan gets home from work). He's 10 weeks old today and I just can't believe it. He is so adorable and handsome and he looks more like a person every day!
He was dedicated at our church this Sunday, the 11th, on Mother's Day. He was so adorable and cute and I'm so happy that I found this church. For the first time in my life I actually look forward to going to church, and instead of looking forward to singing (don't get me wrong - that part is fine too) like I used to, I look forward to the sermon!
I'm really considering attending bible study after the sermon, but not quite yet. Ryan still doesn't (most of the time can't due to work) go to church with me, so that would mean leaving him in the nursery while I attended bible study and I'm not ready for that yet. (Yes yes, I'm a clingy Mommy).
Here he is in his adorable Dedication outfit, and I'm not sure if you can see it or not, but he also has a little bow-tie on (it came with the outfit). Isn't he adorable?!
So, Sunday was Mother's Day and I had a great one. Everyone wished me happy Mother's Day, I went to church, and Ryan got me a card! Two cards actually! In the 6 years we have been together he has never gotten me a card before, and I got TWO on Mother's Day! One from him, and one from Baby J. I also got a dozen white roses from him (my favorite kind).
I guess this is it for now. I'm planning on taking tow summer classes -one management and one accounting, and when I'm done with those I will have my Associates in Management degree. I plan to take the last 4 classes I need in the fall, and then I will have my Associates in Arts degree. This seems to be taking forever yet getting here so fast! Pray I do well in accounting (I suck at math and interest and percentages and all that stuff).
Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!

Why Women Cry
OMG. I have a horrible headache. Math coming up, then speech presentation (about SEX! gasp!) then my 6 week post-partum appointment @ 3:30.
Why Women Cry
A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said.
His mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God.
When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said: "When I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed."
"This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed. That tear holds more then men could understand. If a man was to shed her tear it would look enormous."
"For a woman's tear is full of unconditional love, power, sacrifice, beauty, pain, and compassion."
"All ten fold of what a Man is able to feel. And that, my son, is why I made her as close to being Supernatural. She's my gift to the world; she's an Angel on Earth. Love her and praise her for there will be no other here on Earth that will love you like I do than your Mother. "You see my son," said God, "The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
