Mother’s Day

It’s been a great day so far. We had our nieces overnight last night and it was so much fun. We ate pizza, went to Sonic for shakes and floats, played MarioKart and bowling on the Wii, and watched Enchanted, which I’d been interested in seeing but hadn’t gotten around to putting it on the Netflix queue yet. It was pretty good.

Today Jake got up with Bridget and I intended to sleep in, but I was wide awake so I got up and played more MarioKart. Jake got doughnuts (and remembered to get me coffee even though he doesn’t drink it himself!) {Can someone explain to me why the proper spelling of doughnuts is caught by spell checker? The word is not spelled donuts, for christ’s sake} and we all had breakfast together. The girls are gone now and Bridget is asleep. I might play some more MarioKart before showering and then we’ll be going out for Indian food. And I plan to take a nap too!

Jake made me the most beautiful book using Blurb, full of pictures of Bridget and me and Jake over this first 18 months, and using text from some of my blog posts. It is so incredible I can’t even begin to explain it.

Oh, and at Mother’s Day Out, Bridget “made” me a cute little card with her picture on it.

I like this day just as it is. Jake asked me earlier what I wanted and what I wanted to do. My gut instinct and immediate response was that I don’t want to turn this day into another Christmas or birthday. And I am loving it.

Happy Mother’s Day to those of you out there who are celebrating today.
