Misc. Monday-Mother's Day Weekend

Happy Monday everyone!

I know Mondays are hard

{Miah almost missed his bus this morning},

but the sun is shining and there's no rain in the forcast for the entire week, and this thrills me.

Now, let's talk about my weekend.

Friday & Saturday

My parent's took Nehemiah friday night, which allowed me to detox from my

 not-so-good-horrible-very-bad-week.

I made myself a lovely pasta dinner and camped out in front of the tv to watch this movie

via  

It was an okay movie with some funny elements, but I felt it was very predictable.

After sleeping in {which was fantastic might I add} I decided to pamper myself a little.

I took a nice hot bath, did my eyebrows and my nails, and then enjoyed a big cup of coffee in my quiet house.  The quietness allowed me to re-group and pull myself together. 

I really needed this.

Later in the day I grocery shopped without any pain in my legs :)  

{reminder, due to the Fibro shopping is usually a very difficult task}

and then we headed over to my friend Lisa's house for dinner.

 Sunday

I woke up early to go to church with my mom. 

Now ya'll remember that my mom attends the church I no longer attend, and I don't like visiting there. 

It was Mother's Day, so I sucked it up and went with my mom without any complaints. 

To my suprise, I actually had a nice time.

All my mom wanted for Mother's Day was to attend church with her daughters, and of course I delivered. 

Nehemiah bought her a little something too, which was nice. 

When I came home I got to open my Mother's Day gifts. 

Let's remember that Nehemiah is only 4, and he didn't quite get that I bought the gift he picked out lol.

He was so excited when he saw this in the store...

He saw the zebra prints and it was a wrap, he knew his mama had to have it!

Plus he picked out a pink flower for my hair, which I wore to church.

Then I looked in his bookbag and found a little something.

He made me a craft of his two hands{which are in pink paper}.

Holding the hands apart, there's a strip of green paper and his teacher helped him write

"I love you so much."

I will probably keep this forever.

Nehemiah remembered that I love zebras, and that pink and green are my fav colors.

He did good!

Oh, and my mom got me a card {with a little suprise in it} that has a girl on the front wearing pink and white zebra stripes,

and she's drinking a cosmo. 

She know's me so well!

 I also forgot to mention that Lisa {I mentioned her above}got me Netflix for a year.

{now I can watch the first seasons of Gossip Girl!}

And because it was such a special day you know Mary and I chatted.

Tomorrow morning I'm taking Samantha out to breakfast because she spent her Mother's Day working.

I wouldn't be half the mom I am today without these strong ladies in my life.

I'm so blessed to have an amazing support system.

How did you spend Mother's Day?
