I slept in. I had breakfast catered for me. I showered. The weather was gorgeous so we went for a walk in the woods. We had a picnic (in the car due to extreme windy conditions) and an amazing dinner of lamb ( because I can eat Lamb)… it was stellar!
That is of course because I ignored the groaning, moaning and rumblings of my hubby who seems to “wake up” every few minutes to realize he has 2 crazy Q sons, a house that doesn’t tidy itself, laundry that doesn’t do itself and a kitchen that doesn't clean itself! Mother’s day was the day Jeff realized how much this Q mother does around here and it was sweet as for me!! I lounged on the couch, had a nap and pretended to be at a spa!
I did lose my voice, acquire a nasty cold and learned that it was hard to nag, control and verbally instigate without my main tool! (i.e., my annoying voice). This was a good thing for Jeff as he was really able to tune out my whispered screams! Kai ignored me too! That kid is his father’s son, if there was every any doubt!
So on another note: Mother’s!
I have some amazing, wonderful and brilliant mother’s in my life. I have my own Mom and it’s been a few years for me but I've finally come to the realization that I am my mother’s daughter and this is not a bad thing. This is a precious gift and one that I am now embracing and celebrating! Thanks Mom for being such a wonderful guide, support and cheerleader to me!
To the MIL- You are also a wonderful guide, support and cheerleader for both Jeff and I. It’s amazing and I’m so glad to be a recipient of this love and support.
I also have my sister, cousins, Aunts and many women friends who I look to for inspiration, guidance and reassurance! You women are awesome! I am better for knowing you! I cherish any time we get together and am always thinking of you- not just on Mother’s day!
So this week, we’re grateful in the House of Q! Grateful for the grandparent’s impending arrival tomorrow, grateful for the gorgeous weather and grateful that this elimination challenge is on it’s way out!
