Happy Mother's Day 2012

I think I surprised everyone this year with what I wanted for Mother's Day.  I wanted a day of NOTHING!!! 

We have had SO MUCH going on.  We have literally had at least 1 event every weekend since March; and we continue to have events every weekend right up until the baby will be born.  Between that and nesting- which means I am cleaning 24/7, and have had no breaks from my little ones in I couldn't tell you in how long, I really really wanted a day of silence in my house...ALONE!

I know I shocked my in-laws when they invited us to lunch and I RSVP'd "yes" for my family but a big fat THANK YOU but NO for me. I have a hard time telling people "no" and especially on special occassions when I want to honor all those who should be honored, in this case my mother in law and my mother.  Jay's father asked "Well, you are going to see your mother right?" and when I told him "NO" he was really shocked. LOL!  But I had explained to my mom I wanted a day and I would have a little something for her and she understood 100%.  Look I appreciate my Mother and M.I.L but c'mon, I have a 4 year old, a soon to be 3 year old and am preggers, and been a little sick lately.  This Momma wants alone time!

Thankfully everyone understood.  Except this morning when I felt terrible for missing out on brunch and felt guilty for not seeing my mother.  BUT I spoke with everyone and they were all so understanding and actually happy that I stuck to my guns and did nothing that it made my Mother's Day even more special.  =)  What can I say I am blessed.

I also have to admit I felt badly and left out that Daddy had the kids out, and was celebrating Hailey's last day ever being 2 and I stayed home! Is that terrible???  However, on the other hand...Jay needed quality time with the kids and the kids needed quality time with Daddy and today was really special for them so how badly should I feel?  Sure the jealous part of me wishes I got to go to Toys R'Us(where Daddy spoiled them with all sorts of little toys) and the mall, and to Fun n' Games...but I shouldn't be.  Like I said they all needed a fun day together.  Besides they were home at 2 and I got to spend the rest of the day with them=)

I have to also admit...as happy as I was they were home, I would have been OK if they stayed out later (LOL!)  I got all I wanted for Mother's Day I got gifts!  My in laws gave me a beautiful necklace with a butterfly charm, and the hubby and babes gave me flowers, a fantastic card, and a cool new watch! =)

Overall a fantastic Mother's Day! I hope your Mother's Day was as wonderful as mine =)
