Naturally Optimistic

Dahlia gave me this little plant that she planted at daycare for Mother's Day (I think it's marigolds...not 100% sure). It has a photo of her inside the card too. Oh the sweet gift's from your child. Steve, Dahlia & August gave me a gift certificate for a hair cut at my salon & a fabulous bottle of wine. :) We also went to Grizzly's for dinner - thankfully (I needed to get out of the house at that point). And our first outside-the-hospital family photo...self portrait taken in our backyard. If I didn't have so many wrinkles I would say this is quite a nice photos...*sigh*

To all the Mamas (and Mamas-to-Be) out there, Hope you have a fabulously wonderful day!

Sometimes your life takes a 180. For instance, I used to sit for hours staring off into space, counting the minutes and seconds (ugh!) until I could flee my office and get home. Now I barely have time to think, breathe, eat, go to the bathroom etc etc. It's good but it's so very different. Thursday I only worked for a bit - I was mostly running around answering emails & phone calls and trying to get video to download properly and also getting packed up for the weekend. Thursday I drove to Apple Valley to visit my sister & her husband. I made them dinner, I did some chores for Kathy (she's in her 5th week of bedrest!!) and we chatted. I was glad I could be of some help to them. Friday we got up early as Kathy had a(nother) 3-hour glucose test. Before I took her to the hospital I made dinner for them and Jay's parents (crock pot - gotta love it!) and tidied up the kitchen. Then off to the hospital for the next 4 hours. Again I was glad I could be there to hang out...
