Today was a pretty good day. It's so nice to be loved and appreciated, and gives me a chance to remind myself of how blessed I really am. On the gift side, both kids were so excited about the gifts they made me at school that they had to give them to me Friday night. Sam had painted a pot and planted petunias in it - it looks pretty sitting on the deck table. And Maria wrote a wonderful poem about me, showing not only talent as a writer but also that she knows me so well.
This morning they gave me a few other small gifts that Ben and Maria had bought yesterday (Sam didn't want to go shopping). I got a pair of Crocs, a running shirt, and Maria picked out a summer outfit for the bear on my bed at Build-a-Bear workshop. We were going to go out for lunch, but lack of planning ahead meant that we were not able to get a decent reservation at Brio for today - we've been so busy this week we didn't really think about Mother's Day until yesterday. So we are going there for dinner before the circus on Friday night - a belated Mother's Day dinner, but so worth it. Ben also did some of my Sunday chores for me, which was wonderful.
All in all, a great day and a good reminder of how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family!
