Once again, I'm joining up with Carissa for Miscellany Monday. It's a time when we share our random thoughts, so feel free to play along with us.
I can't lie...I love being honored on Mother's Day. As a mom, it feels pretty nifty having a special day that's all about ME. So, with that said, I got up yesterday morning to find these beautiful roses from Abby sitting on our kitchen table...
She'd, also, written me a sweet note and had a bar of yummy dark chocolate sitting next to them. She knows exactly how to get to my heart. Chris even treated us to brunch at Cracker Barrel, which hits the spot every time.
After we got home, Chris started acting a little "funny". He opened the garage door and kept going outside. I wondered what was going on, but I decided to empty the dishwasher. Yes, mother's work is never done...even on Mother's Day! I had my back turned as I was putting some plates away when I heard a familiar voice. I looked around and it was Brittany! She had left Mobile at 5:30 AM to drive home so she could surprise me for Mother's Day! I wasn't expecting her home until late this evening. When I turned around and saw her standing there, I broke down in tears. To have my family together, once more, was everything I needed to make my day complete.
Later that evening, we went to dinner at our favorite pizza joint, Biba's. The place was packed with families. We had the best time sitting there laughing and visiting with each other. It was as though we'd never even been apart. So, I'd say that my Mother's Day couldn't have been any better.
Today is going to be CRAZY! We have the AC man coming at this morning to repair the coils on our upstairs unit. Then, the house painter is supposed to be here sometime this morning to pressure wash our house. We 're getting a new freezer delivered because ours bit the dirt about 3 months ago. Then, Abby has choir practice all week long after school beginning today from 5:30 until 8:00 PM. Calgon...take me away!

What an awesome day for you!!! I'm hoping to have everyone together for Christmas...it's been years! Hang in there for your busy day today!
Yes, you do have a hectic week ahead. We are visiting our Indiana family for several weeks, and I am amazed at the daily pace these young families have to maintain. For instance, this week: Monday - Mom and youngest daughter leave for 3-day camp, I put first coat of paint on day bed we have made, take dog to vet, middle daughter to soccer; Thursday - guys leave for National HS Rugby Championship in Utah; Friday - girls go to President's Soccer Tourney in Ohio. Did I say crazy busy? But so blessed to be able to spend even crazy time with our family.
What a great surprise for you!! Sounds like you needed to have a great day yesterday just to be rested for today!
What a wonderful Mother's Day surprise that had to be! It does sound like you've got a crazy day ahead of you today ... good thing you had a nice relaxing Mother's Day to prepare for today. ;-)
awww, what a great day you had!!! :)
tis the season for extra practices and school-year-end things, isn't it!!? I am ready for summer 'break' - starting June 4 for us.
PS my hubby has a job interview on Friday - cautiously excited - I'm going with him as it is in another state/town about 4 1/2 hour drive away. Say a prayer for us!
Ahhh - love your girl surprised you! So fun!!!
Oh Brittany's surprise did make me cry! How special.
SO glad you enjoyed your day!
Oh, I know you enjoyed your day so much. It is so rare for me to have just my two here together but hopefully that is going to happen Memorial Day. Just really tough when they live a long ways off.
Sounds like a busy day for you today but also bet you'll enjoy marking some of this off of your list. :o)
Blessings for a wonderful week!
It sounds like your Mother's Day couldn't have been any better :)
Sounds like you had a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend!
Your week sounds a lot like mine though we do get a break from baseball tomorrow night due to end of grade testing.
That sounds like a perfect Mother's Day!
I love that Brittany surprised you! So great!
Good luck with all the hectic happenings of the week!
Wow, today sounds very busy! So glad you had an early surprise with Brittany coming home. Sounds like you had a perfect Mother's Day.
Stopping by from SITS - it's nice to "meet" you! Sounds like the perfect mom's day! I was surprised with fresh cut roses by my little guy and a sweet book that he made for me at school. Makes this momma proud to have such a caring young man for a son :) Stop by http://www.WifeToMom.com to visit sometime!
Sounds like a GREAT day for you! Our girl made it home also on Sunday, around 3:00 so that was nice also! Enjoy your Tuesday!
So glad that you had a great Mother's Day!
Sounds like one of the best Mother's Days EVER!
I cleaned out the gerbils' cages. Yep, our work is never done! :)
