Mother's Day

This Mother's Day was a strange one and even as I write about it I'm not totally sure what to say.

It was the first Mother's Day I've been mothering.

But it almost still seems too good to be true sometimes.

Sure, I am caring for and loving and teaching and nose-wiping Sweet S right now and have "mothered" 3 other kiddos in the last nine months but the reality of being a temporary mother makes celebrating harder I think.

I got several messages on Mother's Day affirming my motherhood and celebrating my First Mother's Day but still most of the time I feel like I am faking it. Or faking it isn't the right word...but I'm not sure what the right word is.

Anyone else?
