Mother's day, on what's important:
Posted on | May 12, 2013 | 3 Comments
My girl woke me up last night at 2 am when dear husb came to bed. She tossed and turned until 3'ish, then awoke again at 5 am ready to party. We had big plans to have an early breakfast (not that early however!) and go for a long hike before b left for work at 2.
Long story short, he got up with her to let mama sleep, and hours later we all ended up going back down for a nap until 10:30 am. Breakfast turned into brunch, a hike turned into a quick walk at the pond by our house, and as dear b left for work the power went out. The day wasn't going quite as planned.
But you know what? My day was amazing. I was spoiled by dear B, & this girl that made me a mother makes every single day a-freaking-mazing.
H refused to nap in the afternoon so I took her outside instead, and used what was left in the water pump to let her experience her first sprinkler. She laughed and laughed until she was out of breath. Oh the joy this girl brings me is endless.
Wake me up anytime my sweet.
(Just don't poop & pee on the floor the minute I take off your diaper, like you did tonight. That was uncool.)
-Your mama

Ps: I promise I didn't forget about my redwood post. The trip was so amazing I've needed time to let it all soak in. See my new header above for a sneak peek!

I am jealous I want to go back to the Redwoods, my family and I went in June of 2011 for Our 10th anniversary....came back with a new addition..little miss Nalah(well 9 months later. Looking forward to seeing your pictures!
Glad you got a break.
Happy belated mother's day! I love the picture how sweet.
My family is going through some rough times and i am learning to appreciate small joys to get me through tough times. Having a baby around is a wonderful joy filled blessing and it doesn't last long enough in my opinion. I have been having a rough time with my 12 year old talking back and being nasty to me ALL the time so I really need all the baby snuggles I can get.

Happy belated mothers day!!! Sounds like it didn't quite go to plan but at least you made the best of it and had fun all the same. All that excitement from the sprinkler sound worth the last bit of water, shes beautiful:)
