this past weekend was mother’s day. normally, j takes the girls away for the day and goes to visit his mother, leaving me alone. gloriously alone for about 8 hours.
i always get REALLY excited when mother’s day approaches, making plans and dreaming about all the things i can do on my own. i have visions of me waking early and taking a long uninterrupted shower. i see myself in coffee shops drinking fancy coffees and laughing at something the barista says while admiring my gorgeous well put together outfit. all this is followed up with shopping and meeting my friends for a late lunch at a trendy restaurant in Uptown.
the reality?
i sleep until noon. lay on the couch watching netflix. surf the web. take a nap. and then about 30 mins before the family is due home, i change out of my pjs, brush my teeth and time it to where they come home and i am washing dishes. and then they know that i didn’t Lay Around All Day.
but this past sunday, i didn’t indulge in any of that. j went to see his mom alone and i was with the girls. i can’t complain. we played. we painted nails. we played mommy monster and chased each other around the house. and every once in a while they would stop and shout, “HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY MOMMY!”
uh. yeah. i could eat that up all day. no lie.
the cutest part of it all was the girls waking up early and ruining J’s surprise pre-gift for me. i had to work late on saturday so i didn’t get home until after midnight. on my way home, J sent me a text saying, “DON’T GO INTO THE GARAGE. I MEAN IT.”
as tempted as i was, i didn’t go into the garage that night. the next morning though, i got up early with the girls and we were snuggling on the couch when j finally stumbled out of bed. as soon as they saw him, they both shouted, “CAN WE GIVE MOMMY HER BALLOONS NOW?!”
bwahahahahaha. it.was.awesome. not only cause they busted his well crafted “secret” but because i SERIOUSLY LOVE BALLOONS. like way more than normal. i would SO rather get a bunch of balloons than flowers.
i got a happy mother’s day balloon from j and he let the girls pick out one each to give me. the result? f got me a feliz cumpleaños go diego go! balloon and z choose a happy birthday from the disney princesses one. AMAZING.
mother’s or not, i hope everyone had a great weekend.
PS– i’ve moved the daily littles to their own blog. have you seen it yet? go check it out!
