05/08/2005 Archived Entry: "Mom's Day"

Happy Day to Me :) I woke up at 6:30, but Tabitha was so insistent on me sleeping in so I laid awake for a long time listening to Daisy sleep. Tabitha finally called Chris at 7:30 to get her up and I waited another 15 minutes before coming out at which point Chris quickly shooed me back to my room. Finally, I was allowed to get up. Tabitha had made me toast with peanut butter for breakfast along with my customary glass of Diet Coke. Since that's what I eat every morning, it was just perfect.
Chris gave me his card that was sweetness personified, plus a nice box of caramel pecans (yum!) and Tabitha gave me her card and a fan, both of which she's been working on all week in the playroom. The two of them ran to the store for me and came back with a flower bouquet as well. I am loved :)
After I ate, I took a luxurious shower, that included lots of exfoliating and moisturizing, before getting ready for the day. I had decided that I wanted to do brunch and had invited my mom to come over. Chris kept saying how bad he felt that I had to cook on Mother's Day but I love cooking and it was exactly what I wanted to do today so I told him it didn't bother me at all. And I meant it, brunch was just what I wanted. I made a new recipe of baked French toast that was well-received, scrambled eggs for Tabitha, cheese omelets for Chris and I (my mother doesn't eat eggs), hash browns, veggie sausage and a tray of strawberries, grapes, edam cheese and havarti with dill. Mmmm. Plus, my mom brought three kinds of bread, my favorite of banana nut bread, a crumb cake and raisin bran muffins. Man did we all stuff ourselves! So much good stuff. After food and before my mom left we took lots of pics in the back yard. It was difficult to get Daisy to look up because it was so bright back there and we were all squinting a bit.
Daisy desperately needed a nap by the time my mom left, but she was having difficulty falling asleep so we strapped into her car seat and headed off to a Japanese import store for the fern adornments Tabitha needs for her dance numbers for the upcoming hoike. They have a sushi counter in the store so naturally I had to check it out and they have 3 kinds of veggie sushi! Yay! I had just had some on Friday from Whole Foods and I had already planned what I wanted for dinner tonight so I didn't get any this time, but will keep it in mind for my next craving, which will probably be soon.
The rest of the day after that kind of flew by, yet nothing got done so not sure what happened there. We've finally got both kids in bed and asleep (I think) so we're going to sit down and watch Desperate Housewives before bed.
