It feels weird being celebrated. Don't get me wrong, I went through a lot being pregnant and giving birth and I deal w/ a lot now with a toddler, so a day off is nice. BUT, none of that compares to the gift of being a mother. If anything, I want to celebrate my child and the blessing she is.
The Weekend
Saturday, we spent some time sprucing up our flower beds in the back and I planted flowers. On a side note, I was scared of planting flowers because of the whole poison ivy fiasco, but I made it out clean! :) Anyway, our back patio/beds look pretty good now and hopefully I can keep everything alive for a while. Fingers crossed.
After that, Quinn and Jeremy took a nap and I showered and took off. I was so excited to just go walk around stores and browse in silence. Amazing. My mom met up with me for a while and then my sister joined us just in time to shop a little more and have dinner.
After dinner, the three of us headed to Painting with a Twist to see how frustrated we could become at a paintbrush...I mean, paint together. Painting with a perfectionist personality is not easy, but somehow Emily and I got over it and made some pretty good infinity crosses. My mom was just so excited to have us both there, she didn't care. She drank wine, painted and chatted it up with a friend who was there.
The only thing I didn't like about that place was that you couldn't pick your own colors. I mean it makes sense because they teach you by telling you what to do w/ each color, but I can't figure out where to hang my painting because of the dark colors. My house is bright and happy. Hmmm...this might end up being a gift (which I probably shouldn't mention on a public blog).
Sunday was so great! Q and Jeremy brought me my first ever breakfast in bed. I felt so spoiled and I loved not having to get up and immediately be "on". Q was so funny...she kept telling me that was my special treat and daddy was bringing hers. He did a great job making cinnamon roll waffles and fruit...pretty impressive! Q also brought me flowers and a Kendra Scott bag to open. Gotta love a hubby with good taste.
We went to church and met up with the family and had brunch afterward at Manuel's. After brunch, I got to head out to get a mani/pedi and sit by myself at a salon. I was tempted to play on my phone or read a magazine, but I literally just sat there staring into space/people watching and eavesdropping. (Those are both special talents I have...spiritual gifts if you will.)
That night, I met up with two of my best girlfriends to see "The Other Woman" at my favorite theater with recliners and people who wait on you, literally, at the push of a button. It was a perfect girl's night and perfect end to an awesome Mom's Day weekend!
