mothers day

Wasn't quite sure what I wanted out of the day this year but I got a little bit of everything and it was great. Probably the best one yet. I was not thrilled when I felt I had to go to my mothers house. I even told my sister how our mom could just send a card to hers and never went to see her. Felt like she was messing with my day now that I'm mom too. Thought seriously about calling and saying I didn't feel well. I did not.
I did not get any extra sleep as I might have hoped. Jake came into bed with me around 7-7:30am. My husband jumped right up. If only he'd do that more than once a year. :) I think he took jake to the potty and then went downstairs. Jake wanted me to lie in his bed for awhile and we did. It was nice. He eventually went downstairs with daddy. I actually got into Emilys bed. A few days before she had said she wanted to make me breakfast. I told her I wanted her to make sure daddy got me breakfast from Friendlys. I knew she needed breakfast first so i crawled into bed with her to wake her.
She was very happy and we cuddled for awhile. Until my stomach started growling. I told her to go down and have daddy make her breafast so then they could go get mine. My husband learned on our honeymoon I need food in the morning or I get very grouchy. We were going out to breakfast at disney world. I was up and ready early. He took a little longer. Then when we got there we had to wait and i was pissed cause i was starving by then. Needless to say emily ate quick and I had my breakfast in bed around 9.
When Emily went downstairs I got back into bed in my room. I think that is what made the day so great. I finally had my own bed in my own room to veg out in and everyone could come and cater to me there. Loved it. Of course it is shared with my husband but three years of the living room being our bedroom I still wake up happy and love spending a day vegging in my bed. I couldn't go back to sleep now but I got to catch up on all my dvr'd shows. My Friendlys breakfast was set up nicely on a tray. The kids only stole a few bits of bacon. They came in and out and it was just really nice and relaxing. I wanted to have them clean up some of the yard for me so when my husband got in to snuggle with me I reminded him about it and how we were suposed to get to my mothers later.
He got them outside and working. I had cut down a bunch of branches before any work had even started on the house and they were cleaning them out and tying them up for the town to finally take. I got up and helped some. Usually goes faster that way anyway. Also had my book and read for awhile while they finished. It was so gorgeous. Could not have asked for a better day.
Then we all got quickly cleaned up and ready to go to my mothers. We were there about 3 hours. Not too bad. Think my husband enjoyed what she had cooked. I was barely hungry from my big breakfast. The kids had fun as grandmas yard is like a playground.
We left and I was dropped of at home for some peace and quiet as my husband brought the kids over to his moms. he also took them bowling after and i toyed with the idea of going to but eventually did not. Just vegged in my room and outside some more. To nice to not spend more of the day outside. I actually exercised some. Guess I'm to the point where it makes me feel good to do it so I do.
They brought home dinner from white castle. I think it is a big waste to try to go out on mothers day. Its really more of a hassle for all of us to go and wait and make sure they all behave. And of course more expensive. I had laid a blanket on the living room floor and had a movie ready to go. We had a diner picnic on the floor and watched Ratatouille. I have been trying to get the kids to watch as many disney movies as we can before our big trip thius summer. My husband ate leftovers as he doesn't feel the crave as the rest of us do for white castle. It was just a really good time. A really great day. A little bit of everything that worked out perfectly. Can't wait till next year.
