Not that I'm ill or in desperate need or anything, but Moms really truly are the best medicine for anything that ails you in any way, shape, or form.
My mother came yesterday and is leaving in a couple hours. I have had the most wonderful time with her. She came last night, ordered pizza for us, played with the kids till they couldn't stand anymore from exhaustion, sat and chatted with me for an hour after everyone went to bed, and shooed me off to bed by 10:15pm. To add to the wonderful-ness that is my mother, she proceeded to sleep in Yvette's room, got up with her in the middle of the night to change her, ended up with a bed buddy (Hayden) half way through the night, and woke up all smiles and giggles. John left for work, the rest of us were up by 7:15am, we ate a good breakfast and she played again for several hours occupying them so I could get some much needed unpacking done. A saint, I tell you!!! We had a picnic lunch in our living room, she laid down with Hayden until he fell asleep (15 minutes), and came downstairs to help me some more. Being Valentine's Day and all, I noticed I had strawberries and chocolate....so we DIPPED! Yummy! Then she asked me what she could do to help. !!!! As if being here wasn't enough!!!! She then grabbed a cleaning bucket, changed her clothes, and spent an hour scrubbing our 2nd bathroom....which needed it badly! I proceeded to work on my endless piles of laundry and unpack 5 more boxes while the kids slept. I've/we've gotten more done in the past 8 hours than I have in the past month!!!! And it is all because of her. Gosh I love that woman!
What is she doing now? As soon as Hayden woke up, we put his shoes on and she took him shopping. For what?...I'm not sure. But they are out and about on a beautiful day.
My mother is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
