Mother's Day and Today

I still can't believe that I am a mom and that I get to celebrate Mother's Day! I always think of my mom on that day and forget that it is my day too. This year was special for many reasons-I have two precious daughters, a wondeful husband and a loving extended family that was in town. We really just relaxed and hung out at my parents' house and ate a great meal. Mary Katherine and Annalee "surprised" me with a sweet photo card of them with MK's "colourrring" on it (that is what she calls it) and a gift certficate for a half day at Renew Day Spa which includes a facial, a massage and foot/hand treatements. Question is when will I get to go? The weekends have been booked and have been anything but restful around here! I also took Annalee with me to Old Navy and went on a shopping spree while Jay hung out with my brothers and MK napped at my parents. It was great to take my time and try on about 50 things-and get some tankinis for the pool that is opening in a week! Annalee did wake up and I had to nurse in the dressing room so it did take awhile! Thanks Jay and my babies for making it a wonderful day. Next month is Dad's turn!

Today I had my end of year brunch with my Mom's Group at church. We all brought delicious brunch foods and took our todders to the nursery so we could have some girl time. Annalee stayed with me-too young for the nursery. An hour and a half went by too quick-of course I was 30 minutes late due to Bentley-he escaped and I had to drive around the Woodlands trying to coax him into the car. He was so bad and kept running away then would follow the car then run away again. Finally he followed me back to our house and I snatched him up and put him in the backyard. Normally I would be so furious but I was so exhausted I didn't even care. The girls are asleep now so I am going to go get some housework done and possibly some sewing......

ps-sewing never happened!
