Mother's Day 2011...

Let's see what has been going on the last few days?  Well, I've been kinda busy, kinda relaxin'... Definitely doing nothing too strenuous or stressful, and that is a very good thing... Thursday was Cinco de Mayo, so, of course, I had to get have some Mexican and a margarita with a friend!  That was fun!  There were a couple of stressful moments, like running into Pixie  at the beginning of dinner, and running into a client at the end of dinner, but the in between part was fun! 

Friday was field day at school, and I was able to attend... That was also fun, but very very loud!  The coach made us parents join in the fun by playing tug- of- war against about a billion middle school volunteers... We won, but kind of barely!  After school I got suckered into buying books for my kids at the book fair and hanging out on the playground...  We adults gossiped while the kids played...  So, basically, I spent my entire Friday at elementary school! 

Saturday was soccer... a game for Big A in the morning and a pizza party for Little A's soccer team in the afternoon...  D had a play date with a friend all day, which made him very very happy!  Later we all went to dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday-- more mexican and margaritas!  Always a good time!

And today, of course, was Mother's Day!  The kids let me sleep in until 9:00 am.  And that is pretty late in my house...  Then they all gave me the gifts they had made for me at school!  So sweet!!  We just chilled out in the morning...  I worked some in the yard while they played and occasionally tried to help.  Little A had an afternoon soccer game, and after that, we met some friends at the park.  I did buy myself a couple of presents... a bird bath I've been wanting and a couple of bushes...  Nana sent me some money for Mother's Day, so I had to use it! :)  We just chilled out this evening... ate Chinese and watched Journey to the Center of the Earth.  That was a pretty cool movie!  It was a nice, quiet Mother's Day...  No stress, no anxiety, just happy kids and a happy mom.  Perfect.
