I have to say I am blessed to be a mother and wife and to have the husband and children that I do! They are always good to me, but yesterday they treated me like a queen. It started with breakfast...my oldest daughter made me french toast with sliced strawberries around it in the shape of a heart, and two eggs. While I was eating they each gave me the cards they made and my oldest wrote me they sweetest letter that brought tears to my eyes. They helped a round the house. They entertained each other while I worked in the garden planting the rest of the seeds. Hubby helped me in the garden. They told me Happy Mother's Day at least 100 times through out the day. I got a zillion hugs and kisses. Happy Mother's Day!
I talked to my mom and wished her Happy Mother's Day. We'll get together soon, I have a gift for her. I was reminiscing and remembered the time we went to the gas station and she accidentally pulled away without paying. The attendant ran out hollering and smacked the back of the car and mom stopped and very apologetically, very embarrassed, paid. I can so see myself doing something like that. The older I get and the busier life with three kids gets, everything about my own parents make more sense. :) I love you Mom!
The entire garden is planted! I do have plans to succession plant a few things, so I will make out a schedule for that. I got sunburned doing all that gardening. It is clear that I wore flip flops and my feet look silly now. Seems like we always get a good burn around here before we remember to drag out the sunscreen again. I did put on a bright orange hunting hat after I realized my face had been lobsterfied. Which was funny for two reasons, beside hat hair and looking dorky...one I was planting pumpkin seeds and hubby asked me if I was hunting for pumpkins. I was like 'Uh, no, why?'. Duh. Took me a minute to get that one! Second I was sitting on the deck wearing the hat and the humming birds kept flying up to it to see if it was food. That was hilarious and so neat!
Today is back to normal...kids off to school and housework and laundry to be done. Life is good. :) Happy Monday!

ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting a comment on my blog. I'm so new to all of this, and that was just such a HOOT seeing your comment! I'm not sure if this is even what I'm supposed to be doing here, commenting on something.....forgive me if it's bad manners.
I LOVE YOUR BLOG! Can't wait til tonight so I can really read it all. We sound like kindred spirits!
What a wonderful mother's day! I envy that your garden is done! How big is it? We just tilled a small 8 by 20 ft area to just "try" and see what grows. Next year when I am not pregnant - we'll make it bigger.
ReplyDeleteJayme...Welcome to the world of blogging! :) And I love your blog too! :) Comment away. :)
ReplyDeleteMount Belly Momma...I was thinking we should measure. I am roughly guesstimating 1500 - 2000 sq ft? I know, it is crazy insane! :) And the largest I have ever done. I really hope it does well. So far so good with the seedlings and potatoes...but I will be so excited when the seeds sprout! I look forward to hearing how yours does. :)
