It Couldn't Get Any Better!

I have learned not to place any expectations on my day. I wake up in the morning and open my eyes and the first thing I do is to praise God for letting me see another day. From that point on, I have no idea what lies in store...totally leaving it up to Him.

Today was one of those days where I was reminded of how loved I truly am. Boo started the morning out by making a special Mother's day brunch. I love that he put his whole heart into making a sandwich for me.

Then, Married Boo and Son In Boo and Single Boo arrived and the fun began. The house becomes alive the minute they all walk in the door The dogs start barking and running for their toys, the music seems tog get louder and even the sun shines brighter.

To sum up the day, it couldn't have been any better. Vegetarian Cuban Black bean tacos, ceviche, guacamole, salsa and Earthquake cake...a Mother's day dream come true!

I'm blessed beyond measure. Tonight I'm going to sleep with a smile on my face.

How was your Mother's day?

I like a day when "have tos" go out the window! I spent the day puttering in the yard and garden. That's heaven to me. Now, if only I had gotten a nap in there somewhere....

Your day sounds absolutely perfect! My day was grand, complete with Twizzlers, pizza, and the movie "Babies." And...in church I got to hold a baby through the entire service, and give her back to her grandmother at the end. It was great.

What a wonderful day you had. The menu made my mouth water!

I am not a mother so I don't get anything special but we took Bob's mother out for brunch and shopping for a new chair for her house. It was a lovely day.

I love the meal you had ! It sounds delish---you were treated like royalty for sure. Happy Belated Mother's Day!

We went out for brunch. There's no way my Hubs would make me breakfast in bed and the kids are too little to do much besides bring me a cereal bar from the pantry. LOL!

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray. Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true.

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
