You know, the more you think about how great moms are, the more you think, THEY NEED A DAY A MONTH!!!
I had a wonderful Mother's Day, except for the ridiculous RAIN and COLD that started at 4am (I only know this because that is precisely when Natalie came to bed with me...). I got cinnamon rolls in bed as well as a COOOOL iTower for my iPod and a neat digital picture frame. We got ready (QUICK) and went to church. We got there right about 10:30 and the place was PACKED. The kids' choir sang (good job, too!) so we lost like 10 pews PLUS we had all of their fans/moms/dads/aunts/uncles/cousins/neighbors to add to the mix. Needless to say, it was a big snug, but both the kids AND Shannen were very well behaved. I personally think it was because Mimi showed up about 10:35 and all was well with the universe. We went to Kohl's--a weekly occurence it seems--picked up a few necessary items, and were back home to chill for a while until we went to the airport. Shannen is off to Dallas again for 12 days. The kids were NOT happy, as they figured out that he was going to be gone for a long time--and they were going to be stuck with ME for almost two weeks. I tried to convince them that this is a good thing and daddy's job is important and he needs to be good at it and they didn't buy ANY of it.... ANYWAY, we stopped at mom and dad's and had KFC and GOOD corn on the cob (thanks dad!), played with Kirby the cat, and were on our way home by 9. After a phone call to Nana and Papa in Tennessee, the kids were off to bed. Amazingly, not a sound right now in my house. LOVE IT!!!!!!!
Should have a pretty good week. Not a lot of events, as we're winding down for the school year. My big event this week is my college roommate, Liz's wedding on Saturday. I'm excited for the chance to go to a grown up event AND to see my other roommates from oh-so-long ago, Jenny and Beth! I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time.
OK, I'm out. Waiting for Shannen's plane update. He was sitting in the middle seat in the back of the plane and broke his sunglasses as soon as he got to the airport....can't have gotten worse, could it????
Have a great week, everyone!

I do agree with your Mother's day schedule! Once a month AT LEAST! I on the other hand, didn't mind the rain at all. I had a fairly quiet day with phone calls and wedding discussions....
I can say.....am PROUD to say, I have not only the four best children (Yes I did have something to do with that) but also the best sons/daughter and soon to be daughter-in-law who obviously had influencial mothers of their own.
Thanks for sharing KFC...its my favorite.

OK, don't get used to this, but while I am a lady of unemployed leisure, I will try to keep up with your blog as well! I love being a part of your life and am happy to read about it. But most of all I love the kisses and hugs and smiles that come from spending time with you and your family. Others may be able to read about you more often, but I surely enjoy the darling kisses and spoken words! They carry me thru the not so great parts of life! Love you all
Auntie Joan
