I received a lot of "Happy Mother's Day!" wishes over the weekend and that was fun. I hardly consider myself a mother just yet... merely a vessel for the last 16 weeks. But it was sweet of friends and family to consider me worthy of such well wishes. Thank you! :)
We spent Mother's Day weekend in Ft. Collins with Matt's mom, Debbie (very happy grandmother-to-be), which has become an annual tradition. Matt has been traveling to Ft. Collins from wherever he currently lives -- whether near or far -- for many years now. This was my third year. Next year will be baby's first. Usually, we re-plant her flower beds and do a lot of other yard work. This year, Matt mainly tackled household maintenance (installed a new garbage disposal, cleaned the gutters, cleaned the garage, installed the window A/C unit, fixed up the computer, etc.) and got the house in tip-top condition for his mother. I was able to install a new sprinkler timer since it involved no heavy lifting or huge amount of energy and then I did a lot of supervising. :) Amidst all the work on the list, we also were able to fit in a family dinner in and a Mother's Day brunch out. It was a great weekend!
I've always admired and loved Matt for his annual Mother's Day tradition. It is an incredibly sweet thing to do for Debbie every year and I cannot think of a better Mother's Day gift a mother could receive from her child. He does it not because he is asked, but because he wants to and looks forward to it every year. I hope The Blueberry (baby's nickname that I'll explain in a later post for those who don't know) turns out like my husband. I hope he/she is a good kid who loves his/her mother. It sure will make all this weight gain (almost 10 lbs so far!), gas, & discomfort worth it! :)
QUESTION
Did you have a good Mother's Day? What did you do? What did your kids do for you? I hope all you mothers out there had a good Mother's Day!
