HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy Mother's Day to all Moms and Moms-to-Be! It was a great day for this mother. Jim woke up with Sophia and I, which was fantastic. Normally I let him sleep in when he works. He then made us all breakfast and I didn't have to help one bit. I didn't even have to do the dishes! Jim made us Eggs Benedict, hash browns, and homemade pancakes. Yummy!!! Sophia and I then cuddled on the couch together for a while and then we played some. A big surprise came when Jim came downstairs caring lots of bags and boxes -- Presents! Jim got me a great card and new Ipod Nano with a docking station for it. I was wanting one so I can play music in the kitchen for Sophia and I to dance to and so we can have music to listen to at supper time. Sophia got me a cute card and a pink cover for my Ipod and Jim's mom got me an Itunes gift card. I also had a bouquet of beautiful red striped roses. I have never seen roses like this before and they are so pretty! I love roses!!!



Afterward gift giving time, Jim let me take a shower and get ready in peace. That was a real treat! For lunch, we went to Paradise Cafe (I LOVE the chocolate chip cookies there!) When we got back it was time for Family Nap Time (I'll explain later). When I woke up, Jim had gone to work and Sophia was just waking up from her nap. Her and I played more together, had kind of a small, crappy supper, played some more and then got ready for bed. She is now sound asleep and I am trying to figure out my mother's day gift. What a great Mother's Day!!



Okay, now about Family Nap Time. Since I get tired every afternoon, I have started to take naps when Sophia goes down for hers. I feel much more energized after a good 90 minute (or longer) nap. I told Jim that Sophia and I nap in the afternoon and he decided he wanted to jump on board. So now, we all nap at the same time each afternoon. It works out great. We all feel much better afterwards. Of course we all don't nap the same lengths but that is perfectly okay. I am sure that when Baby James arrives he is not going to want to participate in this family event but eventually he will.
