Happy Mother’s Day

I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of you a very happy Mother’s Day.  the-girls-5-21-07

Becoming Mother:

As I came to there she was, this baby who had come to me.  Her entrance into the world was not an easy one.  I remember looking at her and the emotions that ran through me were too great to bear.  I sat and started.  I was in awe that this tiny thing had come from me.  She was beautiful.  She was mine!

I almost died having her.  I could not walk for about 6 months after but none of that matters.   My first baby opened a place in my heart that I had never known existed.  It went beyond unconditional love.  It is a feeling that you cannot describe.  It is the magical moment of becoming a mother. I will never forget that first moment that I met my princess.  I think about it each time I am upset with her, proud of her and even when I just look at her.

That same feeling of magic certainly entered into my heart the second time I became a mother.  This time my heart felt even more magic when I introduced Abigail to her sister.  It was as if God was in the room and blessing us with this new baby.  She was tiny just as Abby was and all of a sudden my first baby did not seem so small any more.  She was growing right before my eyes!

By the time we had our third I had thought that there was no way that the magic would still be there.  How much magic can one family have?  It was there.  The girls felt the magic the day that Analiese was born but not that mother magic.

I think that when you become a mother whether for the first time or the tenth time it is always magical.  It is something that leaves you in awe and warms even the coldest hearts.  Wether the baby is planned or not you feel that blessing from the first time you see that little baby that your love with your husband or partner have created.  That love lives on and on and never dies.

I would like to wish you all a happy Mother’s Day.  Take a moment today to remember when the magic entered into your heart.

ER Final Episode on NBC

ER (TV series)

Last night 15 years of TV watching came to an end for me.  I have followed ER since the beginning.  I watched when George graced us with his presence and when Carter went through life altering changes.  I watched Abby drink again and even yelled at her through my TV.  I watched Sally Field give the performances of her life as Abby’s bipolar mother.  I watched Dr. Green become ill and die.  I cried with Elizabeth.  I watched Neila loose her husband and I watched Luca struggle with the loss of his family as he started a new one.  I watched so many things over the past 15 years.  The characters became friends whom I visited with each Thursday.  I watched all through my JR. and Sr. years of high school, all through college and through kids one, two and three.

With all of that said I was disappointed last night.  I put the kids to bed super early so that I could start watching at 8pm sharp.  I settled down and waited.  I enjoyed a look back and waited with baited breathe for what was to come next.  Then it started.  I sat in the front of my seat anxiously waiting for something to happen!  I waited for it to be the best ER EVER.  Guess what… it certainly did not meet my expectation.

The lives of cast members went on as is.  Didn’t they know that I was looking for some closure?  I needed Neila to marry someone.  I needed Carter to be happy with or without his wife.  I needed it all wrapped up.  I did not need them to continue on about their lives.  Now I have to rely on my imagination to figure out all of the things that could happen from here.  I think that I would have rather had the ER explode and had them all die.   I do not know why they could not have ended it all for me.  Now I have to spend all this time thinking about it.  Being annoyed about it.

Oh and on a side note shame on you George Clooney for not showing up and finishing what you had started.  It launched you into greater things.  How could you turn your nose up at them?  You are a little less hot to me now!
