Happy Mother’s Day!
So today was just perfect. Hubby woke up this morning and surprised me a fabulous love letter and tickets to a few great plays going on at the repertory theater downtown. This is something that I’ve wanted to go to for quite some time.
Then we headed off to our local Farmer’s Market to stand in line for the best crapes around. We ate our freshly made crapes in the local park, played tag and just enjoyed being together on this beautifully warm day here in California.
I was able to take a nap prior to my brother and girlfriend coming over. We ate outside in the beautiful evening weather.
The day was great. Just great!
My basic desire for today was to have a day with no family stress, and I think we came pretty darn close! Thanks for such a wonderful day Hubby!
And then Hubby went over to my brother’s place to play video games.
Yes, you read that last sentence correctly. Video Games.
Hmm, let’s see… nice evening. Like a really nice evening with his wife, insert wagging eyebrows, or video games and beer.
He chose the video games and beer.
Yeay for an evening alone, with kids asleep. What mom can’t enjoy that??!!
On another note, I just found out that I won Alli-Fussypants’ weekly caption contest. She had up a really funny picture this week! Head on over and check it out.
Then click over to her jewelery site to see which earrings I won. I chose the Olive Gem earrings. They are so beautiful! Thanks Alli!
And one last thing.
My mom is the most beautiful mom I know, inside and out. She would literally give me the shirt off her back if I wanted it. Actually she has done that before! She’s also the best Nonnie that my kids could ever ask for. The relationship she’s created with my kids, husband, and me is one in a million. I am so lucky and grateful to have her in my life.
Mom, thank you for everything. I love you.

Sounds like a perfect day… weird choice by your husband, though — I agree.
What a wonderful tribute to your mom. It’s great to have that kind of support, isn’t it?

Uhh, I bet that your husband probably asked you before he went over to your brother’s place to play video games. I bet you probably said, “Yes, of course, that sounds great. Then I can blog and get to bed early.” I bet he was probably thinking it’d be good to give you some space that night, not to mention avoiding bothering you with video games while you blogged and got some sleep!

I’m sorry, but I have to stop you right there. I know the crepe guy you speak of, and yes, his crepes are good, but mine are way way better and more authentic. And now I must insist that you guys come over to taste them. I’m sorry, but I just can’t have you going around thinking that his crepes are all that. Sorry!
Oh and is it weird that I relish evenings alone without my husband? I love him, I do, but I never ever get to be alone… it’s such a treat!

Glad you had a great day! I would have considered it a great choice if my husband chose video games and beer, it would have given me time to soak in a bubble bath with NO interruptions. Can’t remember the last time that’s happened!
Great picture of you and your mom!
In case you didn’t know, I found your blog through DadGoneMad. I’ve posted a complete list of everyone who left their blog link on his Big Big Stars post a while back in a post of my own in April called Blog Rolling With My Homies over on my blog, so if you want to see it come on over and sit a spell. I don’t bite..…that hard anyway!
If you did know just overlook this and pretend I said something funny since my brain feels like mush from trying to comment on all 217 on the list because somebody had the bright idea to challenge me to it!!
