Happy Mother's Day!

I remember my very first mother's day like it was yesterday. I was pregnant with Em and DH went out a bought me a video game! We are kind of nerdy when it comes to video games anyway, so it was the perfect gift for me. We don't ever go all out on this holiday. Usually a lot of "Happy Mother's day Mama!" from the kids (like every hour! lol) and DH does something like take the kids outside all day so I can have to time to myself. Sounds weird to want some alone time on a day celebrating the fact you're a parent, but believe me. When you're a SAHM, a few hours to do nothing is an awesome gift! :)


I've been sick since last week and it was just getting progressively worse. By Friday morning I had the standard runny/stuffy nose, swollen lymph nodes in neck, wet cough, red eyes, etc. Just a really nasty head cold. We had made plans to drive a few hours away to this Renaissance Fair today but since I'm still under the weather (but definitely feeling better, thank goodness) we decided to hold off on that until later this month - if my doctor approves it since it is about 2hrs away. We ended up just going out to eat this evening and then hitting up Walmart for a few groceries. DH and I kept joking that "someone better hold us back, because we are getting crazy!" Haha ;) Before that, DH amused the kids all afternoon while I laid around and watched a SVU marathon on tv. All in all, a perfect day. :) We do plan on going out to eat, just the two of us, next weekend to kind of make up for our very low-key weekend but I wouldn't have changed this day for anything.
