Mother’s day started off well as Dave let me sleep in till 9 am. I honestly don’t remember the last time I slept that long. It was wonderful! We had a wonderful breakfast and then I offered to take the kids shopping with me so that Dave could get a few hours of work in. I guess were practical if nothing else. Ajax was such a help with Noomi and so well behaved. He insisted on pushing the stroller, which had some pros and cons as he still can’t see over it very well. Noomi was overtired and annoyed with everything, so we only really were gone long enough to buy her a pair of sandals. I attempted to try on a dress, but that was a lost cause, lol. The only time she was happy was when we were in the food court having lunch and then she realized that if she yelled it would echo. At first the other patrons were quite entertained, because it was pretty cute hearing her yell and scream/talk – hi hi hi! But after 20 minutes it begins to wear on even the kindest strangers. She was hands down the loudest person in the food court. lol. On our way home it was a mix of snow and rain, and downright cold. We therefore spent the afternoon indoors. Ajax watched a cartoon and I destroyed dinner. It was supposed to be ham and bean soup. A meal I’ve made a dozen times, but for some reason it turned out awful. Dave saved the day and ordered us pizza.
Ajax made me a mother’s day card at school, kind of a Mad Lib. He said that I enjoyed going to work, that I was 25, that my favorite color was or actually blue, that I was good at paperwork, and that my name was mommy. He also gave me some homemade bath scrub for the shower and a loofah (though he kept calling it a rufala). Noomi gave me a painted picture frame with her picture that I think will look lovely in my office.
