What constitues a good Mother's day?

First and foremost I want to say happy Mother's day to all mothers.  It's probably one of the most frustrating jobs in the world, but the only one where white hot anger can be easily dispelled by an "I love you Mommy, you're my best friend."

This past weekend was interesting and memorable for a few reasons, not including the holiday.  Katelyn took her first actual baby steps!! (That is the positive memory.)  The negative memory is getting a call from my husband, who is watching 4 kids, saying he needs help immediately.  My sister-in-law go to fine my nephew crying with blood coming down his forehead.  My niece is crying, is terrified and naturally crying as well as my oldest daughter.  From what I understand as to what happened my nephew was banging rocks against things to see what sounds they made and what music he created.  My daughter, for whatever reason, decided to hit his head with her rock.  He is fine, no stitches, he didn't go to the hospital, the bleeding stopped quickly and our daughter was punished.  Terrifying moment aside my husband made sure I didn't have to worry about anything from cleaning to cooking to corralling both kids during church.  All I want is for this to be a one time occurrence. 

While my hubby had both kids during church, I was able to fine tune a query letter to one of the agents for the Andrea Brown agency.  I'm not sure how many time I read and re-read both the letter and the first 10 pages for the submission but I'm hoping for something.  The only things that worries me is that I haven't received the automated e-mail from the agency telling me "they received my e-mail."  I'll wait it out for a week or two, it was a 4 week exclusive query.  Then maybe I'll have the guts to call and see if it in fact was sent, (and they just don't like it.)  Either way, I've started again.  (And sadly, my delusions still exist, I'm not quite sure how to dull those.)
