Today is my first mother's day and it's also the first time that MY mother is out of town for mother's day but I suppose that gives me more time to spend with my family today:).
The day started out at 4:45am, Elle woke up as usual crying but she had an overall good night of sleep and that's usually her wake up time and my alarm clock.
I decided a few days ago that I was going to attempt to make some homemade marshmallows today so I was able to get an early start and they turned out amazing!!
I used some of it to make smores and dipped it in chocolate and have been waiting patiently for them to cool down.
I didn't do such a good job of it cuz I already ate a couple. Can you blame me?
After those were made, I went into nurse Elle back to sleep and my sweet husband put these out for me when I returned.
There were 2 card!! One from A-man and the other from Elle. and inside Elle's card was this
That immediately made me cry because I didn't give A-man enough credit and for him to think to do this just made my day!! I told him several times that I really, really just want a card for today and to be honest, I was keeping my fingers crossed because he hasn't given me a gift for anything in the past few years. He used to write the sweetest notes and cards when we were dating but that came to a screeching halt sometime before we got married. But none of that matters because this momma is happy as a clam today.
He also asked me what I wanted to do today and I said maybe I'll go watch a movie by myself and he was so sad for me even though I tried to explain to him that I wanted to go alone. So he said that he and baby would come with and that he'd walk the hallways with her if she couldn't handle the movie. How sweet is that?
But I decided not to go cuz there's really nothing I want to see so I decided to go shopping instead and maybe out to lunch. Everyone is taking their morning naps right now and I am at peace and beyond content. What else can a mom ask for?
Happy Mother's day!!!
