My Idea of a Great Mother's Day Weekend!

This Mother's Day weekend was my idea of perfect. It may seem a little unconventional to some, but for me at this point in my life, it was great. David took my two little boys to the coast for the annual Father and Son's outing. So, with Abby and Alex (who could not go because he was swimming in league championships) in school - I had all day Friday to myself! Yeah!!! I went to the mall. It took me a while to figure out what I was doing though. I'm so used to stopping by some snack spot to get something to bribe Josh and then hurrying to get the needed purchases while making sure Josh (who feels that he is way too big for any type of stroller by the way) does not pull clothes from racks, or escape the store before he begins to whine that he wants to go home. Anyway, I was actually able to take my time and shop and actually try things on before buying. I then treated myself to In-n-Out, fun! That evening I went to watch Alex swim in the WYL league championships - his school came in 2nd in the league. Saturday I got to spend time with my brother Jonathon and his son Lance. We all took my mom out to a late lunch at our favorite Mexican Restaurant - and then I just hung out and relaxed and watched some "chick flicks". Sunday morning Abby and Alex fixed me breakfast, and David and the little boys got home in time for David to go to church with me and then they took care of dinner! It has been so long that I have had time away from the little boys, that it was really relaxing to just be able to come and go as I pleased and not have to worry about chasing boys or cooking! I was glad when they came home - it's just not the same without my whole gang around!
