Today was a very special day for me. My first mother's day! :) Bobby made this day really special for me. It started last night, we played games and drank wine. Well, I drank wine, he drank beer. Then, this morning, he got up with Tanner and let me sleep in. He decided to pick up IHOP for my breakfast in bed (although, I was up by the time he and Tanner got back with it). My boys picked out a card for me, it sings "Celebrate Good Times, Come On!" Then Bobby took over all of the parenting duties today so I could just relax!!! It was a beautiful day (aka-not too hot) so we all went outside. Bobby and I did some yard work while Tanner played in the pack n play. (He is now pulling himself up and we are so proud) Then we went on a walk around the neighborhood. I took a long nap and a long bath......two of my faves!!!
I was very touched by the amount of texts, phone calls, and Facebook messages wishing me a happy mother's day. Today is also an anniversary of sorts. My mother, who had smoked for most of her life quit smoking last year on Mother's day. She has gone through one whole year without smoking! I am so very proud of her. My mother has always been the rock in my life. She is a strong woman, a supportive mother, and a caring Vovo. She has helped me so much this past year and has helped to shape me into the mother that I am now. Thank you Mommy!
