Mother's Day, awards, and sigh a baby.

Mother's day was a good day. I was tired, having gone to bed so late/early... I woke up to my shock and a wee bit of sadness, at 8am. I wanted more sleep, but I was AWAKE.  I came out and puttered on some games, then hung out with the kids while DH made breakfast.  Our bachelorette girls slept over so they joined us for breakfast. Then DH finished making up deviled eggs while I showered and we headed to MIL's for the afternoon. It was nice to see everyone. The the Surprise, DH called a couple of our friends and let them know I'd be there to see. They live near MIL/FIL which is about 45mins. away and between schedules we NEVER see eachother.  We finally left MIL's around 8:30, much later than I'd figured. Straight to bed when we got home.

Monday, was the awards assembly at our elementary school. Usually it's on Wednesday.  I do not know why they changed it.  So I picked up Katie and Tori and am handed a ribbon for reading, and certificate for Citizen of the Month from Katie. I'm not pleased as I always attend when the girls get an award.  Katie said her teacher called, so I checked messages. Yes, she did, at 8:15 THAT FREAKING morning. GRRR. I'm not a happy mommy.  I sent a note the next morning giving my cell phone number, and especially requesting 24hours notice whenever possible. We had sundaes for dessert last night to celebrate Katie's awards. She said she didn't mind that we weren't there.. but I DO.

And then today, my SIL called late last week to see what I was up to this morning. Nothing. So I got to watch my 4 week old nephew!!  I only had him for about a 1/2 hour, but it was a blast. I got to hold him, rock him, hold him, love him, and settle him to sleep in his carrier.  He was a great baby, and I look forward to watching him again soon!!!
