My blisters have blisters

The bathroom is done!

rn

While I have seen so many of our Buddy Mom’s had a nice relaxing Mother’s Day, Ethan the slave driver, had me doing hard labor.

rn

It took almost 2 hours on our hands and knees to rip up the old bathroom floor. Between the scraping and pulling and lifting every part of my body aches.

rn

 I could barely walk to the computer this morning, just the thought of getting on that Nazi treadmill makes my hair hurt….but I will give it a shot.

rn

I also feel quite hungover today, not from alcohol but from food. The ” Let’s Feed Mom Extravaganza ” started with dinner at my favorite Italian place Saturday night and ended with Jioio’s pizza lastnight. Anyone from this area will recognize that name as the best pizza ever.

rn

My entire family took me to dinner Saturday, and I had every intention of trying to be good, until my father ordered me a Cookies and Cream martini ( Vanilla Stolis, Godive Chocolate liquor, and cream topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings ) it was all down hill from there.

rn

Most of my Mother’s Day gifts were towel/bathmat related, which I loved. I must say that my favorite gift came from Jarod.

rn

At school he made me a flower pot with paper flowers, each with an adjective describing me in the middle, and he wrote an essay about me.

rn

According to the flowers, I am funny, cool, safe, stylish, playful, and decorative ( I am assuming he is referring to the decorating I do for their birthday parties )

rn

According to the essay, not only am I the Greatest Mother in the Galaxy, but I make him feel safe, do fun things, make the best food, love him a lot, wear nice clothes, have pretty brown eyes, and ” have pretty red hair with black and grey underneath ” (perhaps I should have colored my roots on the day he was observing me for his essay)

rn

The bathroom looks great, it just needs a good cleaning and a once over with Goo-Gone to remove the extra floor adhesive.

rn

I hope you all had as great a Mother’s Day as I did, minus the hard labor.

This is the Greatest Mother in the Galaxy signing off.

    ‘ have pretty red hair with black and grey underneath ‘       This is the cutest thing!!!!!!!  Kids are so innocent!!!

    Well, I think I have to second Jarod’s observations.  From what I know of you, you are the greatest mom in the galaxy!!!  There aren’t a lot of moms that go to the extent you do with your kids.

    Other than the hard labor, sounds like a great weekend. Jioio’s is the best pizza ever. Did you know that you can have their pizza Fed Exed to you anywhere in the US? I checked. I hear you on the grey hair, I have plenty myself.

    Wow Ethan is quite the slave driver making you work on mother’s day!! hehe.. Looks like you were rewarded nicely for your efforts though with all those restaurant meals!! Glad you enjoyed your mothers day!  You seem like a great mother to me and are very deserving of those compliments from Jarod!! Hope you feel better and congratulations on finishing that bathroom!

    Oh, what a lovely essay from Jarod.  My DS managed to piss off mom beyong belief on mother’s day.  We kissed and made up TODAY.  Last night though, if I could have, I would’ve sent him to your place for good!! LOL!!

    Glad to hear the bathroom’s finished!  Now you can go on and enjoy it…although I suspect knowing you, you will be cleaning it!

    Except for the hard labor it sounds like you had an awesome mothers day………I had a lot of extra eating too, and tried to get back on track yesterday, but it was hubbys BDay and we cooked out and then he wanted to go out for icecream and I really blew it with a hot fudge sundae!! Oh well I am back on track today!

    Have a great day!
