| Breakfast in bed! |

I had hoped that at some point I would have time today to write something profound on this of all days, but I am happy just to know that my kids love me so much. They are actually the ones who created this tradition of bringing me breakfast in bed and I so look forward to it every year. This year, of course, my little co-sleeper got to partake with me, but Moo and Slim accounted for that with some yogurt and a baby spoon for sharing.
I was given some wonderful cards, gifts and "coupons" for chores, and Moo set up a Spa for me in her room. I was treated to a spine walk, a neck massage and foot soak (icy cold, but it certainly woke me up! made me think that I need to take this girl to a pedi of her own so that she can learn a few things before next year....) and painted toenails. She even had some scented lotion and music playing. This kid is good! (Although I wonder if it had anything to do with her later request for a guinea pig, which ended in tears)
So as I wrote this I have to confess that the bliss had ended. I was interrupted by people at the door fundraising (on Mother's Day!?!?), a fight with Slim over his donation to aforementioned fundraisers, a waking baby (although she was asleep in her crib--small victories!!), and spilled coffee (left within reach of aforementioned baby--totally my fault). And so I leave you with this:
Pick your battles and count your blessings! Happy Mother's Day!
