A True Day of Rest

Just what the doctor ordered.

Being Mother's Day yesterday, I think I was bestowed more decision power for a while. There were definitely less negative sounds when I made choices. I expected to hear a lot, when I changed our plans of going to the theater to going to the rental store and picking a few movies to watch. After all, everyone loves the movie going experience. I just wanted to watch from the comfort of my own living room where a pause is available if I need a bathroom break.

I was tired and needed some time to regroup.

My DH made breakfast, which is so nice and not something that happens often around here. He attempted my waffles and although they weren't perfect, he gets an A for trying.

After my run on the treadmill, my brother called. And when he calls it is hours on the phone. My DH was already stuck on the phone. :-) I did a great job of hiding my issues the day before, because my brother (who is the only one in the world that knows how this feels) said he missed it completely. He did a great job of talking me out of it though. I'm lucky, I wasn't an only child through this parenting nightmare.

After going for a visit at my M.I.L's and helping clear her house for new carpeting, we made it home for a video movie marathon of nothingness.

Well, almost. I did do a load of laundry. I have issues! I can't miss a day of laundry or in my house I will suffer. :-)

Then, after the first flick - which wasn't good, but something I was curious about, I made Spinach Ravioli. I had a craving and DH doesn't know how to make these or I know he would have cooked.

The first movie was the BEE Movie - save your nickels here.

The last movie INTO THE WILD - was fabulous! Based on a true story, you can't help to be entranced by the events. Has to be one of the better movies I have seen in a while.

I picked one more chick flick, that I probably would not be able to see otherwise (if it wasn't Mothers Day) - Juno, but we didn't have time to watch. My Ravioli time went a little long. I was enjoying the cooking time. Especially, when the whole family joined me in the kitchen to talk.

I'm so lucky! I love my family! A perfect day, is an understatement!
