Mother's Day

Oh Mother's Day.... What a great day.

I have been on the road the last two weeks with another trip scheduled for next week.  Mr. T. and I's anniversary was last week, while I was away.  My mom ended up taking the kids for us Saturday night so we could go out, which, consequently, means that we woke up with no kids around.

That was pretty amazing.

And not to be dissing on my kids because I really felt like I should have spent more time with them because I have been gone so much but man.... I was tired.  It isn't very relaxing to travel for work.  Especially when I do a conference like I did this week.  It is fun.  I enjoy myself, but I have be ON for a lot of days.  When I get back, everyone has a lot of needs that need fulfilling.  It is hard to even catch my breath.

So this morning, I slept until 8.  Got out of bed around 8:30.  Was greeted with a card and some flowers.  While Mr. T. went back to bed, I made myself some breakfast and coffee.  I read the paper in absolute quiet for about an hour before putting on my running shoes and going for a 6 mile run.  When I was done, I showered and headed out for Dim Sum.  The rest of the day, we all just piddled around the house.  It was as close to a perfect day that you can get.

I am so thankful for my family.  My mom and dad go out of their way to make our lives easy.  My sweet Peanut was so concerned about not bringing me breakfast in bed on Sunday, that she tried to wake her dad up (DANGER) on Saturday morning to make up for it.  She really wanted mother's day to be special for me.  She kept asking about it.  BabyP, well... he is just his own sweet not ever napping self.  And my husband, he is good.  Very good.  

Thanks for a great day! (PS, It didn't even rain!)
