Today was a fun day! Jared had to work from home the first part of the day so we went to our church's Saturday night service yesterday. So he *attempted* to let me sleep in while he handled the kids, but a persistent little girl refused to do anything but sit outside our bedroom door crying and saying, "Mommy, I want to see you!" over and over. She won, but not in time for me to give a quick prayer of thanksgiving for allowing me to be a mom - something I will never take for granted and to pray for those who desire to be moms and are not at this time. Seriously, this day is bittersweet. I cried many tears on this day when we were trying to conceive and really just wanted to crawl into a hole for the whole day. I detested this day (other than honoring my mom) and for those of you reading this who detest it still, I get it.
Anyway, I didn't mind Addi wanting me early this morning...her and Brogan are the reasons I celebrate this day as a mommy. :) The least I could do was hug and kiss on them this morning. ;) I did get to take a nice, brisk early morning walk (sans kiddos) and it was so beautiful and refreshing! Throughout the day, Jared had Addi and Brogan give me little gifts (so sweet!) and he also ordered pizza in for lunch. While the kids napped I finished reading a parenting book that I highly recommend...more on that later this week (or next week, because we know how it goes around here). After Jared finished working, we went to the airport overlook and watched the planes take off and then went to a Japanese restaurant and had dinner outside (because who really wants to attempt eating inside with two kids under the age of three if it can be helped?). We had tons of fun eating outside and Addi kept saying, "I like eating at this restaurant!" It was truly a great, fun-filled, relaxing day. Hearing both kids tell me "Happy Mother's Day!" unprompted multiple times was by far the best part of my day (sorry Jared...you could have saved some money, huh?) ;)
Have a blessed week!
