Well Mother's Day for me was a special treat,
especially after the horrendous disaster of my birthday...
Hubby had to work the night before and morning of Mother's Day so I was alone with those that made me a mother in the first place,
and I woke up with both boys in my bed and it was wonderful but as soon as I got up
I got grumpy.
It was because all I saw was the mess ALL around me, and as I was sitting on the couch holding my youngest and having a pity party I realized my sweet older one was outside playing on the patio
by himself on a glorious morning!
I thought to myself:
Why am I sitting in here when I could be spending time with him outside?!
So out I went. I got out our new lawn chairs, got my favorite coffee, and just sat. I watched Aiden play and nursed Tristan and texted with my husband until it got too hot.
Then when Hubby got home he managed to get a card AND gift to surprise me.
Now when it comes to gift-giving my husband tries hard but I am a hard woman to please...He gets me things he thinks I want instead of what I actually ask for.
But this time he nailed it!
He got me a Willow Tree statue of two brothers. I have been wanting to our collection of one for a long time now and what better one to choose than one that represents those that actually made Mother's Day for me!
Then he told me I could order the rings I've been wanting for awhile (Handmade with initials from Etsy) and that he would have but he didn't know how I wanted them made. No problem :)
THEN he said he would either make me dinner or we could go out, I chose go out since I don't get that option too often. :)
And while he took a much needed nap (after working 16 hours straight) I took the time to relax, watch a movie I'd been wanting to see for sometime, visit my dearest mom, and took one more longing look at the messiest house ever and said "Eh, that's what tomorrow's for."
And that was that.
Happy Mother's Day.
