Happy Mother's Day! How I'm Celebrating Away from Home | Family, Dinner & Rest

[Sheila]

I hope each of you have a WONDERFUL day! How's everyone spending their big day?

I'm still 1/2 way around the world from hubby. I spent today with my Mom & took her to dinner. The in-laws took the kids late tonight so I can sleep in tomorrow. I'll get them back for lunch & nap, then we are going to the in-laws for a cookout. The sleeping in is my big present! I've never been able to do that. Hubby didn't recognize '07 as me being a Mom yet since I was "just pregnant" (his words, not mine). 2008-2010 he had to work each Mother's Day so I still had to get up early & be the Mommy just like any other day!!! So this is a BIG deal for me. LOL

Right back atcha!After church The Furry Guy and I will go out to eat and then attend the first birthday party of one of our honorary granddaughters, Annika. I expect our son to give me a call. Of course, it's also his birthday, so he will probably be celebrating with friends. In the past he's worked his way through the city of Dallas getting free birthday food.

My hubby is in charge of the Stage at Church today, and it's Baby Dedication Sunday. So - he left before I got up this morning. I woke up to my little guy bouncing on top of me. But then he said Happy Mother's Day, and snuggled in next to me for a good snuggle.
They gave me a Mother's Day gift last night. I love my husband and son for believing that Skinny Jeans would look good on me.:love: But the shirt and tunic I'll keep.

Busy day - not a rest day for this Mama. Making pancakes for the little guy and me, and then off to church....and then to the other side of the state to visit my Mom.

Happy Mother's Day! It's the best job ever!

Last night was Ashley's prom and she got in at 3 so when she and my middle son (he came after work and spent the night) wake up they have promised me a full day of yard work (we have over 2 acres so this is a Blessing to me) & my favorite lunch grilled hotdogs.
Tonight BFF and her husband is bringing over brisket and dinner Life is so much different than when I was married. No 5 star restaurant, fancy jewelry, or being spoiled all day but the kids helping is HUGE to me. They are treasures. Missing my oldest who is in LA.

ೋღ☃ღೋHappy Mother's Day!!
I was able to sleep in until 8:25 which is a real treat for me and now enjoying my first cup of coffee.
Because today is my hubbies birthday as well, the children and their families will be here to celebrate both Mother's Day and his birthday.
A high of 17 degrees celsius, the whole darn family, BBQ supper & cake for dessert ... can't ask for a better day.

I get to spend the whole day being a Mom! My hubby left yesterday morning to go camping in the Boundary Waters with friends (he comes home sometime Wednesday). My two sons wanted me to eat breakfast with them ~ normally I am NOT a breakfast person but I was able to down the dry Fruit Loops they brought me Not sure what will happen the rest of the day but hopefully it will be as nice as yesterday!Karen

I'm a brand new consultant so haven't reached self-employed status yet. Unfortunately my J-O-B (standing for "just over broke) has me working today but after a great show last night I'm okay with it. I'm feeling more and more confident with every show I'll be doing PC full time before you know it and I can sit back, make my own schedule and take Mother's Day off when I want to. Have a fabulous day!

My guys (3) all grown men, will be calling today. One in California, (Camp Penalton, Navy) One in Washington State (Ft. Lewis, Army) and One in Afganistan. (Camp Leatherneck, Marine). As you can see, I'm quite a distance from them all.

Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there and those in waiting (pregnant).

We are expecting grandchild #9 at the end of the month.

Have a great day!

My hubby just brought me and his Mom back from a trip to the state garden fair where he dutifully carried all our plants, flowers, and goodies all over while we shopped. He's fixing brisket for our dinner but is now off playing golf with one of our boys. That gives me my much loved quiet time:indif:
