Yesterday (Saturday) was pretty crappy. My Mother's Day weekend was supposed to be all about me. I was supposed to get to do what I wanted to do. And then I didn't. The hubby had to go to a funeral and so my day was left rearing my children (which I love dearly - don't get me wrong) but on the weekends I look forward to some extra help and little bit of a break. Instead of being unselfish and feeling empathy for the family who had the funeral I only thought about myself. I ended the long, hot day grouchy and tired and not really looking forward to Mother's Day at all.
I often get my hopes up for days like Mother's Day and my Birthday and then end of up feeling disappointed. So, going to bed grouchy, I didn't really have any expectations - which ended up being the best thing for me. Plus #1 I got to sleep in. #2 Thomas woke me up with a hug and the most sincere "Happy Mother's Day" I've heard in a long time. #3 He made me a present. It was great and he was sooooo proud. #4 My mother-in-law made an awesome lunch. #5 I was treated like a queen all day. #6 My hubby bought me some Mom's day jewel's that I love.
Thanks to my whole family for the great Mother's Day. It really ended up being an awesome day.
