I had the most delightful Mother's Day on Sunday. It was so chill and peaceful...something I really needed after Saturday. Saturday morning, we were all out the door early. Tom had to go work physicals and I had to take the kids to their swim meet. The meet was fun because the family all chipped in as a sponsor so we have a tent poolside. It was fun visiting under the tent in between cheering for the kids. There are 9 cousins on the swim team this year...we are taking over.
Tom showed up to work the 2nd shift of the swim meet, but Jack and I had to leave a little early so he could go to his end-of-season baseball party (even though his season STILL isn't over because they actually won a tournament game). Jack and I couldn't stay long at his party because we had to meet up with Tom and the kids for Tom's brother's graduation dinner. We were literally on the go from 6:30 am to 10 pm.

Sunday morning started off with Sam coming into the room at 6 am demanding breakfast. Tom took over like a champ. He turned the sound machine up so I wouldn't be disturbed and took Sam to the donut shop to get the kids breakfast. Then he picked up the downstairs and set the Roomba loose. He realized our fridge was basically bare and he didn't have what he needed to make my breakfast (bacon and eggs - still rocking the no carb thing). So he left a detailed note for Ellie and Jack, who were still sleeping, and took Sam to the store. All of this before I even woke up!
The only thing I had to do all day on Sunday was take the kids to church. The rest of the time, I was pretty much just waited on hand and foot. I really, really love Mother's Day.
