it's the little things
CharmarieI have always done things differently. While most people go along with the flow I change gears. Mother's Day I don't actually celebrate because I am a mother 365 days of the year. My son and I had a good day yesterday even though he had two asthma attacks and a mild fever. We cleaned out his toy box, did some homework and reading together. I'm simple and try not to ask for too much just that my son loves me as much as I love him and he listens. S is the best thing that has ever happened to me, he's the one that can make me smile at anytime, he makes me feel my 4 hours of sleep per night are not in vain and I know that he unconditionally loves me. I did not spend Mother's Day with my son, I actually spent it with R, I wanted to just have a day to myself and relax, R took me to lunch at Gregorios's and I just spent the day doing nothing, exactly what I wanted to do. We ended up filtering through the wine rack and R's house and as I was polishing off my 2005 Petit Verdot, I happened to notice a 1995 Pinot Noir, that had way to much sediment in the bottle and so we had to rid of it. We also opened a 1997 I think it was a Cabernet Sauvignon, that was fiercely delicious.
I've been toying with getting my camera professionally cleaned. I have this speck of dust which I believe is living it's life on the sensor. I don't like messing with my camera to much taking in account what I paid for it. After looking at several of my recent photos she needs love. In two years I've dropped it twice and broke one lens...yeah I should be shamed but it happened. So needless to say she will be out of commission for about a week but it's going to be completely worth it. I'm going to investigate a few other avenues before my final decision. I'm totally bummed but in two years I haven't really cleaned her much either. R brought to my attention that Nikon has a new D60, it's smaller and larger megapixels, my first thought was ... I so need this, but I would feel really bad if I got rid of my D50. It would be a nice upgrade though...

That photograph is breathtaking.
Kudos on the Mother's Day sentiment! I am glad you were able to relax :)
I would be scared to get the camera cleaned but maintenance is important too :)
That is a lovely flower. And I agree with you; Mother's Day is everyday. Holidays are so cliche, you know? I'm not into them as I used to be. Everyday is special..in my eyes.....
Glad you had a nice day.
WOW. Gorgeous picture!
Yeah, I didn't do much for my first mother's day either.
We didn't go out to eat. We didn't go out anywhere, as a matter of fact.
I was still in Waco with my family.
The best things happened to me that day though.
1. My hubby arrived back from his deployment and in time to pick my baby and I to come back home.
2. He bought me roses and a card that said how much he loves me and what a great mother he thinks I am. That beats any GIFT!
3. I got breakfast from my niece. She made waffles, eggs, toast, and fruit salad. The whole deal. I thought that was incredibly sweet!
4. And last but not least... my baby pooped on me! Wouldn't be a Mother's Day without baby poop in it! LMBO
Glad yours was nice and relaxing. =)
Chelle,
Thanks for your comments on the picture *blush*, I'll have to pop over to see how your day went! Yeah I am freaking out about the whole camera issue, it's killing me to even relenquish it from my possession.
Inga,
Holiays are cliche that's what's sad, everyday should be a special day period.
Mamirosa,
Thanks! I'm glad the deployment is over, I so know the relief. And of course roses are a wonderful gift and every mom want to be appericiated and I'm glad Joe appericiated you! What an ending to Mother's Day! Sofia will never hear the end of that story, these are the moments that make parenting one of the best experiences.
