A Pretty Great Day & MEM

by

I slept in a bit.

I had coffee brought to me and breakfast made for me.

I did a load of laundry and some dishes.

I laid with the toddler while she fell asleep for her nap.

I sat in the church cry room for a bit with the same squirmy, loud (but still cute) little girl.

My husband snored on the bed next to me while I typed this.

I wore some new, pretty clothes that I bought for myself on Saturday.

I hollered a couple of times at the people I love that are shorter than me.
{what? I’m not perfect… far from it actually…}

I took a walk around the neighborhood and played with the kids outside.

I watched some HGTV.

I DID NOT cook. 🙂

I accepted flowers and homemade cards and free mimosas at lunch.

I thought about what the week ahead holds, with one child’s birthday just a couple of days away…

(two outta three ain’t bad, right? ;-p)

I wished other Mothers I know “Happy Mother’s Day”.

So, what did you do on Mother’s Day?

Link up your Mother’s Day posts or any other post you like for
 “Miss Elaine-ous Monday“!


ANY “miss elaine-ous” post will do, something from your archives or something brand new! 🙂

Do you have a post that meant a lot to you but wasn’t read by as many folks as you’d hoped? Or one that has great pictures and you want more people to see them? Or do you just have one that you really want to share!?

  2. A great day and love the photo!

    I had some much needed time with my toddler, while my mother-in-law had much craved time with the baby. Win-win, with no one getting jealous and no tantrums (kids and adults alike). All in all, a good day.

  4. Sounds like you had a great day and that photo is just awesome! 🙂 Spent lots of time with the family, especially my momma this weekend. It was great, and MUCH needed. 🙂

  5. I didn’t cook either but had to do some dishes. Had a breakdown in the middle of the day. It was a good day to let my emotions out but other than that it was good day!

  6. What a great picture!!

    I enjoyed breakfast, ran around trying to get ready, had “dinner” at my parent’s house, did some more laundry when we got home, and ruined a load of clothes by leaving a tube of chapstick in the pocket of a pair of pants. It was not a stellar end to my mother’s day.

  8. Just happened upon your blog through Mommy & Me Mondays. Mother’s Day is always a bitter sweet day for me, I can’t help but have the attitude ‘I don’t have to do that, it’s Monther’s Day!’ and end up getting upset because I have to change diapers and clean & do laundry still! It was one of the better ones though; ate way too many donuts, actually took a nap, and only prepared one meal! Glad you had a great one, Happy Monday!

  13. I didn’t cook either! We had a cook-out at my parents. Hubs stayed at home (recovering from a surgery) but otherwise still a good day, I just enjoyed the fact this is my first mother’s day! You have a gorgeous family!

  17. That sounds like a great day! Happy Mother’s Day Elaine!
    And that photo is perfect. G is adorable with his little frown – he’s just keeping it real for you 🙂

  20. What a wonderful picture of you and the kids! I love it!! Sounds like a really awesome day to me. I love that you got free mimosas. 🙂

  21. Oh if our Internet is working good- which is questionable-I plan on doing my mothers day post on Wednesday so will link up 🙂
    And yes, my picture with my kids is about 2/3 at best.
