I am grateful that I can laugh with my mom. I'm grateful that she loves talking to me when I'm away. I'm grateful that she loves me, and I'm grateful that she loves my artwork too. I'm grateful that sometimes on the weekends she wakes up early and makes nutmeg muffins for us, and I'm grateful that she listens to me and asks for me for advice about her students, and I'm grateful that when I'm too tired to focus on her, to give her the attention she gives me, she understands. I'm grateful that sometimes, I can cry in front of her and that she wants to fix things, even if she can't. I'm grateful that she lets me live my own life but still lets me be her baby too.

Pretty sure this is close to the recipe she uses. She substitutes half and half or milk for cream, and may make some other tweaks, I don't know. They are really rich and creamy and nutmeg-y muffins. Delicious.

I have two moms - my stepmom I've known since I was four. She doesn't return my calls and we have problems but I trust her more than my mom sometimes. She e-mailed me a link to an article on cupcakes that was in the times today. Her bouts of thoughtful are sporadic, but they are so deeply relieving and warming. She ignored me most of the summer, but she said she was going to miss me before I left, which is making me cry now. Nothing is perfect. I am incredibly lucky. I read your latest - thank you for posting it. Sorry this is so disjointed. I recommend the nutmeg muffins - they are well worth the hours spent grating, just don't grate off your fingers. It's harder than you'd think.

I had a stepdad and a stepmom now. I love my stepmom but I was 27 when she started dating my father and they married in 2001. She has been very kind to me, but we don't have similar personalities She loves to read, but is far less picky than I am. She is very good for my dad and keeps him healthy so I afore her for that. My stepdad has been my dad since I was 5. But he is the only one I have and has always treated me as his own kid.

It has been really nice and sort of healing to hear about everyone's nice moms. (I am sure everybodys mother drives them nuts too!) Because so much of the time all I hear is about the annoying stuff and it is so hard for me keep from saying, "Jeez. at least you have a mother!" I have only actually said that to one friend, because she was a little out of control with her whining. I tried to say it gently, I hope.
