OK, so I got celebrate Mom's Day a little early this year. On Thursday, after a walk to the park where my girlies collected the little-cup full of "flowers" to give to me, I got home and had those beautiful tulips waiting for me... awwww!
There are two shockers about this fact: 1)OP actually heard all of my reminders about the big day coming up and 2)He actually preordered something. I am not insulting my husband, he is just simply a procrastinator. He is the man at Walmart 5pm Christmas Eve, or the guy who stops by Walmart on his way home from work on Valentines Day and brings me the tiny box of Winnie-the-Pooh chocolates. Yep, it has happened.
Anywho, the suprises kept a'comin: Last night he got home, handed me a wad of money and told me to go spend all of it on myself. I went to Target (I know, I know, big spender huh?) and got myself a dress, two pair of shorts, four shirts and a pair of PJ's. I'm happy!
The best part of the gifts are the fact that they represent that I am actually loved and appreciated. We all know how difficult it gets to do our Motherly and Housely Duties with a smile on our face while feeeling like we aren't actually doing anything that anyone will notice (unless, of course, we stop doing them).
Orrin Porter, you ROCK!!! And Happy Mother's Day to all fellow bloggers and Mommies out there! Now, if only I get to sleep in tomarrow....
Ok, ok,
I won't be selfish. But a girl can dream, can't she?
