Yep, I'm late on this...I'm a mom, I'm busy. I did want to share that I had a wonderful Mother's Day. I didn't have to work this year. This was the first Mother's Day I had off in seven years and I was fully ready to take advantage of it and relax.
Brian got the kids up in the morning and brought them to me, so we had a few minutes to snuggle in bed. I miss the days when Allison used to drink her morning bottle in our bed and would lay there for a good 10-15 minutes.
We went to church and we didn't get paged out during the service to retrieve a crying Allison out of the nursery. Allison did great and had fun playing with the other kids. That is a huge improvement from when we first started putting her in nursery. After lunch, I put the kids down for their naps and took one myself. They both slept for almost three hours and so did I. We have had some late nights the past few weeks with the kids waking up, so I had no problem sleeping for that long.
After naps, we went to Brian's parents house for a visit. Later back at home we put the kids down to bed and then Brian made me a steak dinner that I was able to eat in peace (other than Allison waking up an hour after we put her to bed for no apparent reason). We concluded the night with playing a little Wii Mario Cart and also a board game.
Brian and the girls were very generous. From the girls, I received a gift certificate to get a manicure, pedicure, and a facial. In a few weeks, Brian is going to take me out to dinner for a date night. I can hardly wait. Also, I can't forget to mention the beautiful flowers that are featured in the picture.
The best gift of all of course is my girls. There were a few times during the day that both of them gave me the biggest smiles, like they were telling me "Happy Mother's Day."
So to all my fellow moms out there "Happy Belated Mother's Day" and always remember how special you are.
