Dreaming of Mother's Day

While I know today is Mother's day, and I should be writing a post to her, about her, or for her, I'm not.  I hope my mom knows how much I love and appreciate everything she has and continues to do for me every single day.


Right now I'm taking a bit of time myself to enjoy mothers day, dreaming of one day myself being a momma. I know it's coming in the next few years, God willing. We are in no rush to have kids, but we definitely want them. 


We both admit to wanting a baby boy first, however if that isn't how it goes, we I will NOT be disappointed. Okay he won't either, but he is the last guy in his family to carry on the name and really is wanting a little hunting buddy first.


Anyway, I think of the lyrics to Brandon's walk up song. It is Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd. 

Mama told me when I was young

Come sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say.

And if you do this

It'll help you some sunny day. Oh yah!

Oh, take your time..don't live too fast, 

Troubles will come and they will pass.

You'll find a woman, yea yea, you'll find love,

and don't forget son,

There is someone up above.

And be a simple, kind of man

Oh be something, you love and understand.

Baby be a simple, kind of man.

Oh, won't you do this for me son,

If you can?

Forget your lust, for the rich man's gold

All that you need, is in your soul,

and if you can do this, oh baby, if you try. 

All that I want for you my osn, 

Is to be satisfied.

And be a simple, kind of man

Oh be something, you love and understand.

Baby be a simple, kind of man.

Oh, won't you do this for me son,

If you can?

Boy, don't you worry...you'll find yourself.

Follow your hear, Lord, and nothing else.

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. 

All that I want for you my son, 

Is to be satisfied. 

Every time I hear it, I think of how I'll want our little guy to be a simple man. Just like my husband. Now I have NO clue if Brandon's parents sang this song to him a lot when he was younger or what - but this is my guy  - a simple man - and I love and adore him forever and ever for it.

Anyway, I hear that song a lot on day's when he pitches, like yesterday, and it always has me thinking about this, how I want our son to be a mini-me of his dad, his character, his heart, and his faith. I dream about someday, I'll be the mama in this song, telling her son to be a simple man. 

Motherhood is going to be so stinking amazing someday. I can't wait, but I can.

I hope all you moms, momma's to be, trying to be momma's, mom's who have been, those without moms, grandmoms, and greatgrandmoms -- basically every woman who has been raised or is raising a child -- Happy Mother's Day!!
