Mother's Day
May. 13th, 2008 12:12 pmI truly have the best husband and children in the world. Here is an accounting of my weekend:
Saturday
Woke up at ridiculous o'clock because a certain two year old thought it was playtime. Went to the bathroom and encountered my husband on the way. Was told to go back to bed by said husband, who took the rambunctious two year old and went in the other room. Went back to bed. Slept til 11:30!!!
Went out somewhere with my aunt and the two year old. Can't remember where. Lunch was involved. Oh, and my cousin and his wife went too, and then we went to Michael's to see if we could find something for Bob to give my mom for Mother's Day. Upon returning to my previously messy home, was happily surprised to see clean-ness exploding all over the place. There was even a load of dishes running in the dishwasher.
Made a mosaic tile from Michael's with Bob and our neighbor while Edgar napped andllnaughty was out doing things unknown but later revealed. There was a surreptitious call that I answered and was immediately told to hand the phone to Bob, who ran away about 50 feet so we couldn't hear her.
Sunday
Woke up at oh-god-thirty with the same rambunctious two year old. Again met my husband on the way to the bathroom and was relieved of said child and instructed sternly to go back to bed. Noticed the suspicious smell of bacon coming from the kitchen. Went back to bed.
At 9:15, was awoken by my family coming into the bedroom with a tray containing scrambled eggs, bacon and toast, IZZE peach soda (not really soda, just juice and carbonation), a handmade card from Bob, and a light blue card and little bag with the word "bliss" inscribed upon them. I opened the card and found a gift card to my favorite spa, and some lovely samples of their products. Then Bob ran into the other room and came back with a beautiful floral box with a pink bow, from See's Candy.
Bob has been ill since Wednesday, so she andllnaughty stayed home while I took Edgar and went to my family's Mother's Day get-together. My mom and my aunts wrangled the wiggly child while I chatted with my cousins about laser hair removal and the fact that all their husbands were ignoring them and watching the basketball playoffs while they set up and cleaned up the meal. Decided that on Father's Day, we'll have a manicurist come to the house and give manis and pedis to all the women while they ignore their husbands. I had nothing to complain about and I just sat there with a smug smile and tried to downplay how great my Mother's Day had been.
Came home and told husband that this was the best Mother's Day ever!

May. 13th, 2008 03:09 pmHeh. Love the headline. Republicans Vote Against Moms; No Word Yet on Puppies, Kittens
Here's my favorite quote.
"The majority has taken, once again, their go-it-alone policy," Boehner lamented yesterday. "It's time for Democrats and Republicans to work together."
Beautiful, huh? Waah waaah, the Dems won't let us have a say in the agenda.
Boo effin' hoo.
Note to Republicans in Congress:
Things change. Power shifts. If you don't want the Dems to be pains in the ass when they're in power, don't be pains in the ass when you are.
(I personally think neither should be pains in the ass, but the situation amuses me nonetheless.)
