Happy Mother’s Day

It's 10pm and the kids are in bed.
It was a whirlwind of a weekend…

The best part?

I had hurt my foot on Thursday. By Saturday it was hurting pretty bad and Zak went to get me a brace because I had to pack. Kim and Danielle had the kids and they had them to help me out, so no way could I not pack. I put the brace on and I could function. It hurt but nothing I couldn't deal with. Later in the day it was getting worse and I decided to lay down. It had been hurting so much on Friday night that I didn't get much sleep. I laid down and fell right asleep but then like an hour later I woke up in excruciating pain. I literally could not put any weight whatsoever on my foot. We called Mike Race to see if he had some crutches still from when his girlfriend had gotten hurt and needed them. He did. So Zak went downtown and got them. I hobbled around on them for the night and was getting a little concerned. I so do not have time for an injury like that. I took some advil and a warm bath and the pain subsided a bit. Before bed, Zak wrapped my foot with an ace bandage and a brace to see if that would help me sleep. As I was drifting off to sleep, my foot started really hurting bad again, so I took the bandage and brace off and went back to sleep.

I woke up in the morning and cautiously put my feet on the floor. I put a teeny bit of weight on my foot and realized it didn't really hurt. Amazed, I put all my weight on my foot and it was fine. It hurt a little but more like a sore kind of hurt, not like the day before. I walk out into the living room with the crutches in my hand and I see Jaime on the couch. Surprised, I said "Hey pretty, what are you doing? Are you okay?" She responds "It looks like your leg is all better Mommy, is it?" And I tell her that yeah, it does feel much better and thank you for asking. She then goes potty and goes back to bed. A couple hours later Ben wakes up and he comes to me and I scoop him up into my lap for his morning cuddle. (It's a ritual for him, Jaime was the same way, they come find me when they wake up and climb in my lap for a moment of mommy love.) Anyway, Ben is in my arms and I'm looking down at him and he says "Mommy, does your leg feel better?" I couldn't believe it….

Both of my kids can be spoiled. Well to be honest, they are spoiled and sometimes they actually act like it. Jaime only does it on occasion, however Ben does a lot. He's still in his stubborn, the world revolves around me phase.

I could not believe that both of these kids were so concerned about me that my leg was the first thing on their minds when they woke up.
Wow…just wow.

Maybe there's hope for them yet. ha!

It was a nice day…just hung out and enjoyed the day. I got a bunch of really cool cards from Zak and the kids and Jaime brought home a picture of a sunflower that she had made at school and it was wrapped all nice and pretty for Mother's Day. Very cool!

My phone was out literally all day and that was frustrating, but other than that, it was a cool day.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Mother's Day !!!
We didn't take any pictures but I have some from our night at the beach on Thursday, so I'll post those!
Enjoy!
