I got the plague on Monday and am slowly recovering. As many of my longtime readers, hi mom, know, I generally take to bed and whine for days. This week, I only whined for one day, 24 straight hours. I consider this a victory for all.
Today we celebrate all that is Irish. However, 23 years ago my family lost a close friend so St. Patrick's Day always is a little bit sad. I won't go into details, but every year we remember the loss and wonder what could have been. We are sad, but life always goes on in tragedy, happiness and change. So many people have suffered immeasurable loss lately all across the world. Whether it be personal, or just seeing death and destruction from afar, it is painful.
So today, while we celebrate our freckles, our heritage (made up or real) and new life, remember those who suffer. Take heed of your own actions and always remember.
We are happy to announce the newest addition to the happymommy family in the form of a second cousin twice removed by marriage, or something like that!
Welcome little CR to our crazy world! We love you!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from the happymommy house!
Erin Go Bragh!
