Happy Mother's Day
Today is Mother's Day. I am very happy because I actually got to celebrate my day last night. I am not a patient person so I somehow managed to convinced my husband that Mother's day dinner and opening gifts on Saturday was better then waiting until Sunday. I don't know how I did it really.
I was very happy with everything that I got for Mother's Day. Nothing was really that expensive, that I know of. I got a lot of stuff for doing scrap-booking and some office supplies, a keyboard try so I can clear off my desk and use it for scrap-booking and a new light for over my desk that Jemal is going to have to install sometime today (but he is still upset about installing the keyboard tray, so I don't know if he will get to the light today or not).
Last night's dinner was Outback, take-away. I ordered the 3 lobster tail dinner and Jemal ordered an extra lobster tail with his dinner for me. I ended-up getting a really bad headache half-way thru dinner so I didn't get to finish my lobster, but I will certainly try to eat it for lunch today. The kids both enjoyed heir dinners as well, Sierra got ribs and Jared got Grilled Cheese with Broccoli. Jemal of course got the steak. We even got GG to eat dinner with us.
I am just so happy with this Mother's Day. I asked for exactly what I wanted and that is exactly what i got. I was surprised at how well Jemal and the kids did at picking out the stuff I wanted for scrap-booking but they did a great job. Now, I am looking forward to spending the rest of the day working on my scrapbooks if I get a chance. I am sure that Jemal will let me since it's Mom's Day and all. I get to do some organizing (which is something that I love to do) and play with my new stuff.
Right now Jemal is off to McD's to get me my favorite breakfast. After that I am probably just going to do nothing for the rest of the day. I don't have to do my chores for the day, Jemal will do them for me. How great is that!?!
Today is going to be a very good day I think. Just relaxing, watching some TV maybe (Survivor finale is on tonight) and working on my scrapbooks. I don't have to worry about taking care of the kids or making dinner, doing laundry or anything like that.
I hope all of my mommy friends and family are being treated to a special day today. It's a time to put your feet up and have someone rub them for an hour or so. The one day of the year when you get to clock out and take some vacation time. So, use it, every minute and wisely. You only get this opportunity once a year so take full advantage of it.
As for me I am already so happy that I can't imagine asking Jemal or the kids to do anything more for me today. I just want some quiet time. Just to work with my books and play with my new toys. I couldn't ask for a better Mother's Day, really.
My only hope is that by next year my surgeries will all be done and we can all go somewhere special for Mother's day with the kids where everyone can have some fun. We used to go to Hershey Park for Mother's Day, but I haven't been able to for the last couple of years. Once my surgeries are done I am going to start planning all kinds of things that we can go and do together that we haven't been able to in so long.
Right now, Jemal and I have already figured out that he is going to be taking the kids alone at least to one place this summer. There is no reason for them to be stuck inside just because I can't go to the amusement parks and walk around, it would be really unfair to them. I hope we can find some things that they will enjoy and that won't be too hard on Jemal having both kids alone for a whole day.
Time for me to get started with my relaxing and enjoying my day, Hope you all are too.
