I am not really one to take days off. I usually even bring a little work on my vacations. But... I promised Andy and myself that this Mother's Day weekend (with no wedding) would be family time (time to blog post is excepted). I'm not going to lie. It's really hard for me to not work. I love what I do so much and I have been blessed with so much work to take care of that a day or two without work has made me a little antsy. I think I need to work on my relaxation techniques. Then maybe Andy won't call me "Itchy Butt" anymore. ; )
Anyway, today is a great day. All around, moms are being brought breakfast in bed and personal little handmade gifts and flowers. I am no exception. I was awakened by sweet little voices telling me... "It's Mother's Day!" I came into the kitchen to a hot breakfast with coffee (my favorite), a newspaper and some lovely gifts from my family.
Devin handpainted a flowerpot in school and was so proud to give it to me. (Thanks to the staff at Meadow Park for giving her a hand with her project.)
Aidan's gift killed me! Andy and I were both crying from laughter and because it was so sweet. He has been dying to give it to me. I've been banned from looking in his backpack and it's all he's talked about all week. Check it out... My mom's name is "dk". (OK. I might be working a little too much if my identity has become dk instead of Donna). I am 80 feet tall and 22 pounds. Hmm. I don't think I'll comment on that. ; ) I wish I could B20. Don't tell him but I don't think I'd want to be 20 again. I wouldn't mind having my 20 year old body again but... I much prefer where I am now. This is a great time in my life. I like salad and I'm smart about places. The mind of a child is a beautiful place. At any rate, to all moms... Happy Mother's Day! And to my mom..... Happy Birthday and Happy Mother's Day AND.... there is NO WAY I could ever express how much you mean to all of us.
