That my friends. Is not how it played out at all.
I woke up and after realizing I had actually slept in I ran to the store to fetch my mom flowers to go in the vase that we had for her (sorry no pics of it...bummer). Once I got back 2 of my 3 kids were awake and so we waited for the 3rd to wake up while I got the flowers for my mother trimmed and put into the vase. They were beautiful and bright and the vase of course helped them look even more awesome. By the time we were all done my 3rd baby woke up and I got to tend to the ceremonious opening of gifts! Woohoo!! I got three sweet cards, a cute little handmade pottery from Rian, a cute flower picture from Laneya and from Carina I got a jar that on the lid said 'I love...'and then inside it was a bunch of cut out hearts with little notes from all six kids and Jared. They each wrote their own note and it was amazing. Not only did I realize then that all the money in the world couldn't have bought a gift so sweet but that my daughter really knows me. She had to know how special this would be and it really was. I mean, she also got me a Starbucks card which I of course am super appreciative of, but that little jar of love was the best!
I of course, gave hugs and then we invited my mom and dad over to get the mimosas started! We sat at the table and just chatted over bagels and mimosas. My mom loved her gift and then my little brothers showed up. I weighed out the pros and cons of going to the Fair and ultimately my recent car debacle had led me to decide to not go. The extra money wasn't in my favor. Where normally this would have bummed me out, what it resulted in was an entire day of laziness! We all sat in our jammies, drank mimosas (2 bottles of champagne down the hatch) and we ate deli sandwiches and just caught up! It was amazing! I really couldn't have asked for a better Mothers Day.
To also make it a teeny tiny better, the Luoma kids momma sent me a sweet text and a pic of her babies :) I really feel loved and I mean that!
The day before Mothers Day on Dia De Las Madres (Mexican mothers day) we also had a busy day! We went to a surprise party for my cousin Marci. It was her 40th and my cousin Jose really pulled it off. I got to help set up and it was neat to have her pull up to the house with all of us standing there and we sang Happy Birthday before she could even get out of the car! Haha. She was as surprised as she could be I think, she said when they turned on the street of her friends house it kind of gave it away but hey, that's still pretty good! We ate Hawaiian food, grubbed on cupcakes and just hung around family and had a pretty nice time.
We took a few photos, we shared a few laughs and then we headed out to go to a super late dinner and have a couple drinks together with my dad, my mom, my brothers, my man and my littles. This whole Mothers Day weekend could only have been a little better perhaps if Jared got to spend the actual day with his mom but he did get a couple days in where he had a blast so that was perfect.
I didn't even really mention that but they went to an old Mine and had a blast there as well as spent some much needed quality time with his momma. He sent me a few pics so its ALMOST as though I was even there :)
I think that all mommies this weekend were taken very good care of and I can't wait till next year :)
