day of the mama

Yes, I shall join the masses and write about Mother’s Day today. I mean, that is what it is, so there ya go.

• I got to sleep in.  Probably would have dozed in and out awhile longer, but the dog started licking my head so I had to get up to let her out.
• I got to relax on the couch while breakfast was being made for me (ham & cheese omelet and hash browns)
• I went and picked out my porch flowers and some dirt – just me and the dog and no time limit
• Dog and I spent the afternoon working in the dirt and sun. Well, I worked, she bugged me to throw the ball 9,640 times in a row.
• The left side of my landscaping used to look like this:
  

  Before

• Now the left side of my landscaping looks like this:
  

  After

• When my boys came home from visiting their grandma, I got MORE flowers – for the deck  – and awesome cards.
• I got to take a really long (and much-needed) quiet, hot, long shower
• My man is making me my favorite dinner; my boys are entertaining themselves and I am under a blanket with my laptop on the comfy chair.
• The tv? NOT ON.  🙂
• Matt gave me something they made in school – a handprint with a little poem about fingerprints and getting bigger and it took me like 10 minutes to get the tears out of my eyes.

Sometimes, life is just GOOD, you know? Tomorrow I will grudgingly welcome back the responsibilities, the things to do, the worries of everyday life, but today, I’m just loving being a mama.

Oh, and the boys were helping water the grass and plants…they went ahead and watered the dog, too.
