Happy Mothers' Day indeed. My kids left me the sweetest momentos. My daughter printed a picture I LOVE of her and me on our first family trip to Disney, where she was giving me the BIGGEST hug. She matted it and wrote a whole page letter on the back about my awesomeness. My son made me a card that explained how much more than 'good' I am. His has a pocket that says 'Here is the greatest mom in the world...and the little one,' and holds a picture of him and me at the Detroit Pistons basketball game last month (he's a couple inches taller than me, for reference).
Anyway, I took Friday off of work originally to go to the Lavender Labrynthe, but then decided I'm just too beat to put much effort into anything right now. So I stayed home, and got my nails done, finished mailing graduation open house invites, paid the bills, and grocery shopped. And a three-day weekend is always a win.
I'm wrapping up the long (for me) weekend before brunch at my brother's, by joining in with Sunday Salon (does anyone else accidentally type a 'g' at the end of Salon almost every time?) and Sunday Post. Check out some other blogs! We all appreciate the love :)
What I'm reading this week:
Still finishing up The Woke and the Dead in print, but reviewed January Thaw yesterday on my blog.
The giveaway on my review of See How They Fall ends today! Interesting surprise ending to that one.
Next up, I'll be starting When Canaries Die by Luis Figueredo in print, and maybe Dear Writer by Maggie Smith on kindle. We'll see.
Three Good Things:
- We finally have some warmer weather! My brother says they opened the pool, so the kids are invited to bring their suits and dive in (not sure if it's actually 'adult' warm yet. LOL). I'll wear shorts, anyway.
- I have an appointment to get my 'real ID' on Wednesday. My drivers' license is expiring anyway, so I'll bring my birth certificate, marriage license to support my name change, and two bills/statements addressed to me at our Michigan address to prove my residency. Seems like a lot, but I'm a rule follower, so I'll do it.
- Hubs stopped home to surprise us today! He was originally using his day off to go to a race and drive with friends, but the race teams blew up both cars yesterday.
- Actually progress being made on the office, so I'll keep going with that.
- Next LEGO set is the Lucky Bamboo, so I'll probably get started on that this afternoon.
- Still striving to be as quiet as possible at work. Funny story - a couple weeks ago my manager pulled me in and said, "You've been really quiet - everything okay?" Fast forward to last week when she pulled me in to say that someone complained about my singing. So I'm striving to be less. I suppose the good news portion is that I just have a few more years. Retirement is closer than when I started working, right?

Happy Mother’s Day. Good to hear your kids did such a great job honoring you,
I did not realize that Real ID is not required in order to fly on planes, so I was happy that my state did a very good job of getting us all re-credentialed before the deadline.
So glad that your weather is getting warmer!
Happy Mother's Day! Take care of you in this busy month.

Sweet story, glad your daughter made you feel special! I hope you enjoy the rest of your Mother's day and have a great week!
Aww you know you're a good mama if your kids are writing / drawing / creating things for you.
How annoying (yet kinda funny) that first you were reported for singing and now you're being asked if everything's ok because you're too quiet.
