Well, happy belated mother’s day to all of my momma blog pals. I get to celebrate my mother’s day on Saturday. Mostly because my husband’s job requires him to work on Sunday (you know, being a pastor and all), so I get spoiled on Saturday instead. Not a bad gig. I slept in, and then woke up to the sounds of a sizzling stove top. Sarah came in to check on me and told me to not let my nose smell the food that was being made. hehe Eventually, my tray was brought to me with a waffle, bacon, strawberries and whipped cream, orange juice and coffee. And then my bed quickly exploded with pictures, cards, and homemade gifts. Always the best. And hubby brought in his gift too – an ipod nano. Yes, my 8 year old had one, but I didn’t. So now I’m hip. (I guess.) We actually looked at some a week ago while shopping at Sam’s Club, and Sarah said she wanted an ipod. (She’s 4!) I said, “You don’t get an ipod until mommy gets an ipod.” So Saturday morning I asked her if she helped Daddy pick it out, and she said, “Yes, but mommy, remember – you said when you get one then I can get one.” Hmmm, smart cookie. I then reminded her, and continue to remind her she’s still 4. I basically spent the majority of the day in my jammies, napped in the afternoon, and we went to Red Robin for an early dinner, finishing off at Dairy Queen where my appetite for a dipped cone was quenched. 
However, it was a difficult choice, because now they have these slushies (which looked and sounded so good). I’ll have to enjoy one soon. Sunday morning I had a corsage to wear to church, got to choose lunch, and enjoyed filet minon made just right by my brother in law, who was assisted by my husband in charge of the side dishes. All in all a lovely weekend.

Last week began with 6 batches of chocolate chip banana muffins for the teachers at the girls school. The entire week was filled with errands and preparations for teacher appreciation week. I was on the committee this year. It went well, but was a bit hectic. I went here to get gifts for my girls’ teachers. The week also began with me noticing that Sarah played beauty shop all on her own. She decided her bangs needed a little trim. Nothing too serious, but noticable to mommy. Couldn’t get too mad, I did it as a kid myself. Except for, my mother will tell you, I had bumped my head earlier in the week and had a large knot on my forehead, complete with black circles around the eyes, not a hair left to sweep over the chunk that was chopped, and the next day was Easter Sunday. Ok, so I didn’t have it so bad with Sarah, but my mom still boasted over the paybacks.
Buddy had a haircut too. We recently put ‘weed and feed’ on our lawn to kill all of the crab grass and annoying burs that plague my dog with hair. Well, now the dried out burs are almost magnetic to his fur, and he was COVERED in them. The only solution was to cut off that baby hair. No buzz or anything, but I was in the midst of those darn muffins, so Brandon took to him with the scissors and was a little too friendly with them. Yeah, he has some holes amongst his puffy fur, but it’s still decent. Buddy also had his manhood removed yesterday. Pretty pitiful. He’s still a puppy, so you can almost sense his frustration today, as he wants to be his normal active self, but he is plagued by an irritant near his rear area.
Almost caught up on all my stories, but need to get busy with other things now. I still have to tell about the Camerican girl/Holly dollies. Soon…
