My Mother’s Day celebration started early. I went to Daniel’s preschool for a special Mother’s Day luncheon on Friday. Daniel gave me a homemade vase and the teacher read aloud questionnaires filled out by each child about his or her Mother. When it was my turn, I learned that (according to Daniel):
I have silver/yellow hair. (Note to self: Book hair color appointment pronto.)
I am 40 years old. (Many kids said their Mom was 18 or 21. I guess I should be glad he has a good memory, right?)
I like to vacuum. (At least everyone knows I’m not a Hoarder.)
My favorite color is pink. (I’ll take it.)
I don’t like to cook ALL of the time. (Understatement of the year, kid.)
But when I do cook, I cook fish sticks the worst. Because I let them get black in the oven that one time. (???)
Okay. I have NEVER cooked fish sticks. Not once. Hubbie cooks homemade tilapia fish sticks. On the STOVE TOP. And he has never burnt them. Not once. Daniel has an amazing imagination. He loves to make up stories. But, COME ON! I would have rather he imagined me as a 25 year old who never, ever cooks. That’s okay. He made it up to me with the yummy lunch buffet and lots of hugs.
Speaking of cooking, Hubbie is the Top Chef of our family. He made me an amazing Mother’s Day breakfast on Sunday. I had french toast with bananas and fresh berries.
My gift was a morning at the spa for a 90 minute massage. HEAVEN. Then, I was back home for my yummy poached salmon lunch.
It was a day of eating and relaxing – my two favorite things. I read magazines in bed. I watched a lot of television. We all went to the bookstore for coffee. I got the best Mother’s Day cards from Hubbie and the kids. I got this beautiful spring bouquet of flowers.
But the best gift of all was this:
A 15 minute window in the afternoon where both kiddies were getting along. They were reading books together. I couldn’t have asked for a better day. I hope your Mother’s Day was awesome too. You deserve it.
PS: I just realized today is the TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY of PopMommy. Time flies! Thanks to everyone who continues to visit me here. I appreciate it so much.
