Happy Mother's Day!

Let's have a laugh at my expense. Really. You're all invited.

I woke up alone. David is out of town and doesn't know when he'll be back.

I also woke up sore, but I knew I would after kneeling to plant flowers yesterday.

Needless to say, I woke up two states away from my own mom. Fine, the blame is mine, I chose to live in Utah.

The kids did cuddle up with me in bed, all of us awake before seven. I, of course, was awake at 4:30, 5:00 and finally sometime after six.

In all my glamour I changed the litter box and for kicks, missed the bag and dumped some on the floor.

Just after that, while shaving my legs in the shower (dodging cat scratches) I found an ugly bruise (some bruises are more cool than ugly) on the back of my leg where some kid took a full swing and got me across the back of both legs with a bat at practice the other night.

I expect that soon room service will deliver my bacon and sausage and eggs and hashbrowns and biscuits, fat and calorie free of course. Or in 4 minutes the oven will spew a fresh batch of granola, not fat or calorie free.

The kids have given me their school-made Mother's Day gifts, and in return I let them eat frosting-free cupcakes left over from last night for breakfast. No worries, they chased it with a banana. And just in case Isaac hasn't ingested enough sugar, he's just poured himself a bowl of Lucky Charms.

Sometime between now and 11am when church starts, I need to make serious progress on Maddie's quilt project due Friday. We have 2 rows done. Two. Due Friday. Pray for my patience.

I hope you have a warm and wonderful Mother's Day.

A bonus laugh for my own mom...
