I had a GREAT Mother's Day! I truly did! When you read the rest of this post, you may think I'm being sarcastic, but I REALLY TRULY did have a great day! Parker's not been feeling the top of his game lately and I have a really bad habit of not going to bed until after midnight, so I didn't get much sleep. Parker kept waking up and trying to sleep with us, but would only end up asking us to walk him back to his room after about 30 minutes. He's never been one to sleep anywhere, other then his bed. It's a good thing but sometimes becomes very frustrating. We finally woke up for the morning and it was so beautiful outside. Peyton and Daddy made me breakfast in bed, and showered me with gifts and cards! My gift...a sewing machine! It's so funny! He found it at a thrift store, and better yet on 1/2 off day! Nothing beats a $5 sewing machine! They know me all to well! It's just a little starter to see how well my idea goes!
We were having a brunch at our house since it was Josh's dedication day as well, so we were busy getting things ready. We, as always, thought we had all this time to be running late to church! Argh! That would be the one thing I would change for today!
We got to church and had the most beautiful dedication ceremony for our precious baby Joshua! We were extra blessed to be standing on stage with our cousin Jack and his mommy and daddy too!! I'm so thankful to Jesus for all that He is doing in our lives and the lives of my family members!! Both boys decided that they wanted to stay with us during church, and by the end of service they were both asleep, each with their heads on one of daddy's legs! Oh, and THANK THE LORD!!! I found my Bible at church! I lost it on Easter Sunday, and have been so upset about not finding it!
Our brunch went well, and all the food was DELICIOUS! I'm so a brunch girl. I love eggs, muffins, fruit, and juices! We toasted to moms, GiGi and Joshua with some delicious mimosa's! It was a perfect morning and afternoon with our family and friends.
A little while later, my mom asked where Parker was and went to find him. She came out looking quite terrified and saying "I don't know who should go see him." I jumped up so fast and found myself looking at a horrid disaster in the bathroom! Poor munchkin went into the bathroom all by himself (we've been potty training for quite some time now), and the med's he's been on for the ear infection had given him quite runny stools! It was everywhere. He was trying to clean himself up and ended up smearing poo all over my white cloth shower curtain. I mean EVERYWHERE!
Funny thing is that the day before our washer broke. AHHHH! I threw a few things in the washer and thought I would let it attempt to clean it as best as it could. Matt and I after a while ended up heading to NFM to purchase a new washer. What a thing to have to do on Mother's Day.
We got back home and Parker had fallen asleep while Papa was holding him. Well, he ended up having another accident in his bed. Argh! Where's the washer when I really need it?? We ended up packing things up to grandma's to wash. The bedding was done just in time for bedtime!
Like I said...you'd think I was crazy to have enjoyed this mother's day as much as I did. I just was so appreciative of all the help, love and support we got from our friends and family during such a crazy, hectic day!
