Mother's Day

A Mothers Day wouldn’t be complete without screaming children and your morning starting off crazy. After all it reminds you as a mom, that you ARE needed. Our family went shopping to fill back up the fridge Saturday (I hadn’t gone in almost 4 weeks- with exception of fruit, milk, and bread). I had bought Jimmy Dean Sausage biscuits for the boys and Sarah Lee McMuffins for myself. I had anticipated being able to have breakfast in bed. After all the boys could read the directions. But every 3 minutes or so I heard a knock at the door, “Mom which one can we have”, “Mom how do you defrost”, “Mom can I drink the Orange Juice”, “Mom can I have two?”, “Mom can I wear this to church?”, “Mom, Mom, Mom!”. I got up, made my breakfast, helped the boys, and crawled back into bed. I had my breakfast in bed. I got up slowly hoping the boys would all be dressed, dogs fed, etc. NOPE! Goodness…Some days I think I need to awake 2 hours before any one stirs to get everyone out of the house ON TIME. Thankfully we live next to the church, so we did arrive on time. We came home after church and ate lunch and switched cars. Went to Lowe’s bought me a tree (Red Maple for the front) and a bunch of rocks for my pathway in the back yard. By 2pm we were at the Traveler’s game in our annual suite. This place is awesome. It felt like we had the entire stadium to ourselves, because people were clearing out due to the rain (no lightning- so they kept playing). My Brothers and I were able to be silly and dance…I’m pretty sure the New’s liked the company. We lost 10 -9 and I think 8 of our runs were “walk ins”. We sat down for our Sunday Family Night and curled up together on the couch. It was a GREAT Mothers Day! Regardless of any hiccups that might have occurred. Hope yours was a good one too.
