Mother's Day

Happy belated Mother's Day to all of my friends who are moms! Moms of both fur people and real people! LOL! I had a really good day :). The kids gave me a card and a really cute pair of earrings. They have little ceramic china birds dangling from them. They're really pretty :). I slept in and we went out to lunch. When we came back I took a cat nap which I never do so that was nice. Of course I paid for it last night because I couldn't sleep. That's one reason I try to never take naps. If I do I can't sleep at night. I just don't require a whole lot of sleep I guess. If/when I do take a nap I feel like I'm wasting time. I got to do a lot of stitching yesterday which was really nice. I've been working on several gifts this month. Mike took care of cooking dinner. We did a bit of gardening yesterday afternoon. Everyone thought it would be fun to plant watermelons and pumpkins so let's se how that comes out, shall we? LOL :). When I was a kid my mom planted watermelons in her garden one year and I recall it being a very scary thing...lol. I just can't picture a watermelon/pumpkin patch thing going on back here but the kids are really anxious to see what happens. I wasn't too anxious to do that but I know when they get older they'll remember the year that we planted watermelons and pumpkins. It's really good for them to have those memories :). I also planted some tomatoes for Cassie as well as a whole bed full of marigolds out front. There aren't too many things I can plant out there. I need something that requires full sun or they'll die. I really should have done this a month or 2 ago. Time seems to have really gotten away from me the past couple of months. As a matter of fact I need to scamper off and paint my face. I have a conference with Joshua's teacher this morning. Today's my cleaning day and I also want to finish the stitching on a gift for Cassie's teacher. Working last week was really nice but I'm glad to be home this week and am really thankful that I don't have to work and only do it because I want to :). It really doesn't even seem like work to me. It's almost like I'm getting paid to have fun...lol.
