Today was a very interesting day for sure. Mom and Dad arrived safely back from Trinidad after attending a funeral for an absolutely wonderful woman and the matriarch of the family. This was the first blessing.
Then I decided to get up and bbq. Um yeah, not such a great idea today. As I put the chicken on the que, wouldn't you guess its starts to hail. So yep, standing outside for an hour while bbqing (I also made steak) with a hoodie on.
Thirdly, we had attended the STC's birthday party and I got an incredible deal on Argo's tickets so that is my Mother's Day present!!! Best part is Daddy will be able to attend with us, so it will be a true family affair. Count this as my 2nd blessing.
The girls also gave me 2 wonderful gifts, but they are wonderful in themselves and the best gifts I have ever received. Mylee planted me a beautiful flower at school and it bloomed in a two tone, reminded me of my wedding bouquet, and a beautiful card with words she wrote herself. Kiya gave me a pretty paper flower and a coupon book full of "good for's" which I fully intend to use for matching socks!!!! I am counting these as 2 blessings so we are up to 4.
We spent the evening at the movies. Darryl and I have been dying to go see Iron Man 3 and finally we got to go taking the girls with us. Would you believe Mylee feel asleep? I loved it and won't spoil it for anyone, but as in all Marvel movies...make sure you stay past the credits. Our family time is very limited and every second we can spend together I count as another blessing. So lucky me, I received 5 today and I am incredibly greatful.
So from me to you, I wish you all the blessings of Motherhood because each one brings its own joys and/or confusion/frustration, but in the end you will look back and remember just how lucky you truly are.
