So I know everyone is putting up their Mother's Day posts. I don't know if I'm just not that into it or what. It was kinda a normal Sunday.
I made pancakes for dinner last night ( I thought it was a good idea since we have church at 8am and I wasn't waking up early to make them today) so we had leftover pancakes for breakfast. Then I went to church with Kylie and Elijah, Cara Mia was up all night throwing up, fun for me to clean up, so Robbie stayed home with her and Porter.
It was nice to go to church and have the kids sing, it's one of my favorite things, and I liked how they had some of the men talk about mothers and wives and how they appreciate us. But Kylie and Elijah were fighting the whole time about who was going to sit on my lap, I was trying to look on the bright side (oh isn't it wonderful that my kids love me so much that they both want to sit on my lap) but really I was like, come on you guys are old enough to know how to act during church.
Then we went to sharing time, which was fun, then all the women went to RS (the men took over all of our callings) the RS room is right next to the primary room and I sat there the whole time and listened to the kids sing. It was kinda hard to listen to the lesson, even though it was really nice, I like to hear people's stories versus a lesson.
Then we came home and I made this Chipolte pasta (oh it's so good) for lunch.
Then I called my grandma!!! And Robbie and the kids made me e-cards and I took a nap.
Then we had shrimp and Halibut tacos for dinner (YUMMY) and we are having Tuxedo Cheesecake for dessert. (Obviously not doing the shakes today)
I am so greatful for my kids and how wonderful they are. Elijah said when he got home from church, Daddy you need to take me to the store, I need to get mommy a ring and a game. I told him you guys should have done that yesterday, we don't go to the store on Sunday, he said ok we'll go tomorrow. Then he went and got a gift bag out of the closet and got some books from upstairs and gave them to me. I thought it was very sweet. (He knows I love to read). Cara Mia got a gift bag and put a dvd in it and gave it to me. They are very thoughtful. For preschool they made flowers with things they like about me on the petals. It's my favorite gift. And Cara Mia's nursery leaders did the same thing but she wasn't there so they asked one of my friends what they thought she would say. Kylie at school made me a calendar, which I love. I love the handmade gifts so much. I still have Kylie's flower she made me in preschool hanging up. It makes me feel like they do notice some of the things I do for them and that they appreciate them. Robbie is still working on my scrapbook room. So far he put everything in boxes and put the boxes on the bed, so now I know where nothing is. Oh well, I'm trying to not be hard on him and just let him do it in his own time.
So that is about it. I know not the normal post but I'm just not that into it and I can't fake it so, it is what it is.

Happy Mother's Day, I'm a little jealous though of your day. It sounds better than mine. I take my kids to church every week by myself and every week they give me a hard time, it's only a matter of the level of hard it will be. If you have seen Lilo and Stitch 2, you'll know what I mean when I say Olivia's "goodness level" was pretty low today. Then you know what it's like too not to have your own mom here on Mother's Day and to watch everyone else with theirs. I couldn't help but think of all the people my age getting together at their mom's house or having their mom's over today and being sad that I can't do that. Dave worked ALL day so it was like every other day for me. No break, there was too much laundry to fold, dishes to do, kids to get ready, diapers to change, and nap resistant Olivia to deal with. My birthday's coming up in a few weeks maybe it will be a better day?
When the kids were smaller, I didn't always enjoy Mother's Day. Some years were better than others. I didn't always enjoy going to church and listening to talks about how perfect their mothers were, knowing that I was far from being perfect myself. The older the kids got, the better the Mother's Days were because then I didn't have to rely on Bruce to make sure the kids made the day special :). Now, as Grandma, I just sit back and wait for the kids to call and wish me Happy Mother's Day. Tom is usually the first to call, then Paula (even though she wishes me Happy Mother's Day usually the day before when she always gives me a lovely gift, which is very much like Paula to do everything in advance-never procrastinates), and then almost at the end of the day, Brent finally calls. My favorite call was from Lexi as she wished Grandma Happy Mother's Day and told me she loved me. After your kids are grown, they finally appreciate you for all the earlier years that you sacrificed for them. So, just wait...it's all part of being a mom.
