:) WADAYA KNOW......OR THINK THURSDAY/ WE REALLY NEEDED THIS!~

MOTHER-IN-LAWS

So many times is my life have I heard things about Mother-in-Laws. Some good, some not so good. I think it is one of the most mis-understood relationships of all time. First of all, Does any mom think that ANY girl is good enough for her son? :) She will be, in a way, taking her place. Second of all, What wife doesn't think that she is her husband's # 1 WOMEN? :} Some times that can be a conflict.

I have been so blessed to have a great mother in law. When I was first married, I saw lots of situations with "Battles" between a MAN'S WIFE AND HIS MOTHER! I felt bad for them. I always wondered what my relationship would be and prayed that I would get one that loved me for who I am. One that would accept me as her own. When I was dating Jerry, I loved how he talked about his mom and treated her. I knew that he had a soft spot for her. I knew that if he treated me the way he treated his mom, that I would be ONE LUCKY GIRL.

Yesterday was her Birthday. We threw her a Birthday Party of all parties! It was so fun. We all so needed to get together with all the stuff that has happened in our family this year. I love this family. I feel very lucky to have them in my life. So fun to be around all the little "great grand babies!" We served Cafe Rio Burritos, chips and salsa, cake and ice cream. Every one pitched in to help with food. Thanks guys!

Anyway! Happy Birthday to my Mother in Law!!!!

I found these poems, and I think they are so cute

To His Mother"

Mother-in-law" they say, and yet,

Somehow I simply can't forget'

Twas you who watched his baby ways,

Who taught him his first hymn of praise,

Who smiled on him with loving pride,

When he first toddled by your side.

"Mother-in-law" but oh, 'twas you

Who taught him to be kind and true;

When he was tired, almost asleep,

'Twas to your arms he used to creep.

And when he bruised his tiny knee,

'Twas you who kissed it tenderly.

"Mother-in-law" they say,and yet,

Somehow I never shall forget

How much I owe To you,

who taught him how to grow.

You trained your son to look above;

You made of him the man I love.

And so I think of that today

When with thankful heart I'll say,

"Our Mother."

Our Mother

You are the Mother I received

the day I wed your son.

And I just want to thank you,

Mom for all the things you've done.

You have given me a gracious man

with whom I share my life.

You are his lovely mother and

I, his lucky wife.

You used to pat his little head

and now I hold his hand.

You raised in love a little boy

and gave to me a man
