catnip and coffee

I’m hanging out at my parent’s house this weekend. I think I cheated myself. If I had stayed home I might have been able to convince dh to pamper me today. Heh. Okay, maybe not. But seriously, why didn’t I plan it so that he was the one who took the kid away for the weekend and left me home alone to sleep in? In case you’re wondering why he’s not with us, it’s because I decided to stay here through to Monday and he can’t miss work. I figure if I’m gonna drive three hours to get here, I’m gonna stay for two nights. Honey, if you’re reading this, I miss you, and go call your mother.

My boy woke me very early this morning, so cute snuggled under the covers with his eyes scrunched against the early morning light. The first thing he said to me was “when are my cousins going to get here?” Dude. It’s 6. They aren’t getting here until lunchtime!

My oldest sister will be here with her two boys. The boys will babysit, and she will likely bring me plants from her lovely garden. My mother cooked a ham yesterday, and is making potato salad to go with it. She won’t let me in the kitchen. And I don’t have to drive three hours today. It’s shaping up to be a good Mother’s Day How’s yours?

ps to Beaglemum: Congratulations darling, and I hope your first Mother’s Day as a mom is your BEST Mother’s Day ever!
