Today was one of those days that exhausted me before I even began it. I put the girls to bed early last night in preparation for today. We had swim lessons at 9:00, a kids workshop at Lowes at 10:00, a birthday party at 1:00, immediately followed by a Kentucky Derby party. In and amidst this, i knew we had to all bathe and shower and wrap a present and make a card and eat lunch, and nurse the baby, etc., etc., etc.
But today was a wonderful day. We had a great swimming lesson, followed by a fun workshop at lowes. we ate out with friends at chic-fil-a and M even got to play in the play area after. We all got bathed and showered and wrapped and created and nursed and to the birthday party (almost on time.) We hit the derby party with a big old bottle of bourbon in hand. We ate and drank and had a wonderful time with some of our most wonderful friends. We were spoiled with draft beers and excellent mint juleps (i have decided that the day the baby is fully weened from nursing, i am going to douse myself in a vat of mint juleps!)
we drove home with two sleeping angels in the backseat and relaxing music on the radio. we recalled funny quotes from the day and laughed. i loved every second of every minute of this day.
and i am going to sleep tonight with a wondrous anticipation for mother's day! i love mother's day! i will get to sleep in and will hopefully get some hand-picked flowers from the garden with my coffee in bed (or at least, that was how my last three mother's days have started... i hope it continues! it's my favorite part!)
i am once again so thankful for my family, for my friends, for wonderful days like today, and tomorrow to come.
