Hubby Came Through; or, The Best Mother's Day Ever

Hubby came through on Mother's Day, making it the best I've ever had!

As I mentioned in my last post, he's sold quite a few books in the past few weeks, and as it turns out, he's been squirreling away some money. So, imagine my shock on Sunday morning, when he presents me with a gift bag, and I open it to find the new Burberry Summer fragrance!! I had only recently mentioned to him that I'd sniffed it at Macy's and loved it, but I had no expectations for getting it anytime soon because I know what the price tag is: out of our league. He got me a wonderful card, E gave me a cute little card with a kitty cat on it (which means she really wanted to keep it), and H designed several cards over the days preceding Sunday. On top of a fabulously unexpected and much appreciated gift, I didn't have to cook a single thing ALL DAY! We went to church with some friends to see their baby be dedicated, then we all went out to eat. Once we got home, I got another unusual gift: a NAP! As soon as E went down for her nap at 1:30, so did Mommy, and we both slept for two hours -- yay! I never get to take naps, so this is a highly extraordinary thing. Even better? When I woke up, the children were happy to sort of play together for a couple hours in the living room, while I watched some quality t.v.: The Deadliest Catch (yes, I'm a dork). Being allowed to veg in front of the t.v. is also something I rarely get to do with the kiddos around. I read lots of books to E, snuggled with H, and ended up on the couch with Hubby at night's end. It was a perfect Mother's Day, however, with any luck, next year's Mother's Day will have us welcoming home a new addition to the family, so this year may just get trumped :)

I hope all the lovely moms I know had an equally wonderful day! Now it's time to start planning for Dad!
