Thursday Thirteen #14 – Great Quotes for Mother’s Day

Thirteen Things about Janne

I guess this is the “late edition” of a Thursday Thirteen. Although it is still Thursday, most of us tend to get these up at the beginning of the day. I have been sooo sick today. This is the first time today I have really had the energy to do this. Please pray I feel better by Mother’s Day. My husband and eight children still at home are planning on taking me out to dinner at one of my favorite Italian restaurants. Mmmm. Anyway, without further ado, this TT is in Honor of Mother’s Day.
