Mother's Day

When it's Father's Day, I call around to the kids to remind them.  Try to make sure everyone shows up at church.  Plan a lunch, etc.  My hubby just doesn't seem to get into Mother's Day that way.  It used to kinda hurt my feelings, but now, it is what it is.  Even though everything wasn't PLANNED out for today (like I would have done), it all worked out great.

It started out with me sleeping in until 10am.  Lovely.  Then Addison served me breakfast in bed:  orange juice, scrambled eggs and skillet toast (yumm, my favorite).  We then headed off to church and even though we were running a bit late ... "our" seats were available.  I was a bit sad when the boys didn't meet up with us at church, figuring I wouldn't see them today.

Afterwards, back home to rest a bit and wrap up a gift for Addison to take to a birthday bowling party.  Then in comes Ben, wanting Dad to help him work on his car.  Then in comes Stephen, gift and card in hand.  I should have known he wouldn't forget. :)  He even signed his brother's name to the card (I think I see a trend for the future).

So, what exactly does it mean when your children buy wine for you for Mother's Day?  Humm.

The card was super cute. 
Front:
"What if, on Mother's Day, someone else cleaned the house, did the grocery shopping, and then cooked the greatest meal you ever ate!  How does that sound?"
Inside, it plays Hallelujah:
"Don't get too excited - I said "What if." 


Stephen wasn't feeling well, so I gave him drugs and off he went to take a nap, but Ben did end up eating lunch with us at my favorite BBQ place,

So, it turned out to be a wonderful Sunday and a wonderful Mother's Day!  I also heard from my "second daughter," Jessica and Liz, Stephen's girlfriend.

Can next Sunday be Mother's Day again?

Little Tidbits from Today

Just a couple of random things...

* I just polished off a box of Caramel Crunch'N Munch (I guess that's what I get for just eating cereal for dinner).  But, I had lunch at Campisi's (the real one) with the hubby today, so I wasn't really that hungry tonight.  I have not had C 'N M in forever.  Addison spotted it in the Dollar Spot at Target yesterday and 2 boxes had to come home with us. 

I just read the side of the box, Total Calories: 560 (oops). I guess I should have read that BEFORE downing the box. Well, let me not lie, that wouldn't have detered me.  I mean just look at this ... yumm.  Is there a better midnight snack?

* Market Street has Cupcake Chardonnay on sale this week for $8.99 which is a great price (and of course you get 10% off when you buy six bottles).  Why would you NOT buy 6 bottles?  I don't remember the last time I just purchased a single bottle of wine.

ooh, tasty! I think a shopping trip is in my future tomorrow (well, actually later today).

* I can take (2) percocet for my foot and still not go to sleep.  Hence me blogging at midnight.

Now I think I will search my recipes and come up with a dinner plan for Friday night ... time to celebrate Mindy's birthday and spend some time with my awesome girlfriends.
