Mother’s Day

May 9th, 2011 — 12:08pm

A few months ago I sent Shaun some links to camera bags that I’d like for Mother’s Day.  Last week, he emailed me saying that they were out of stock and asked if I wanted anything else.  I told him that I really, truly don’t want anything other than a day with Shaun and Lu, some Lucy artwork, and to not cook.  Yesterday I got all of that and more.  Best Mother’s Day ever!

First, I got to sleep in and then we went to a few local nurseries to get supplies for the garden.  After that we went to 13th Street Pub and Grill for a yummy lunch including a free mimosa and yummy bloody mary.  We then had a (much needed) family nap followed by an afternoon in the garden.  The night ended with a dinner out at the Ram.  We were supposed to go to our friend’s house for Friend Dinner but they had to cancel.  I told Shaun that we could just have leftovers but he said absolutely not and that we were going out.  Okay then!  It really was a nice family day AND my husband built me a trellis for me peas!

Evidently I had a hard time with the focus yesterday Smile

Last weekend we went to a native plant sale and Shaun terraced an area in the backyard for it.  Here’s our native plant garden Smile

And the reason my day was so wonderful!

I Forgot to Eat!

Mother’s Day was FABULOUS! Wonderful, perfect, just great! I’m going to post more later tonight when I can do it justice.

I also forgot to eat lunch yesterday. Most people are probably thinking, “So, you forgot to eat, what’s the big deal?” but for me it’s a huge deal. I’m normally one of those people who is very concerned with when the next meal is and what I can have but yesterday I had breakfast at 9:30 and then I had a Mother’s Day frozen yogurt at about 2 and then at 7 Shaun said “We didn’t eat lunch-I’m starving.” I said “We didn’t? I don’t feel hungry. We really didn’t have lunch?” He got all excited and said, “It’s happening! You’re not as obsessed with food-this is a good thing. You should eat lunch but in the 5 years I’ve known you you’ve never forgotten to eat. We should write this day down.” It was really very cute that Shaun was so excited for me. I know that I need to eat lunch and I need to not forget to eat but the fact that it wasn’t paramount in my day was a HUGE DEAL. I just hope I’m not jinxing it by writing about it.

Okay, off to work!
