This past weekend was a fabulous one.
Jared got home from New York late Friday night just in time to spoil me for the weekend.
He took me (and Luke) to lunch at the Art City Trolley for a yummy salad.
I then got to go shopping by myself while he watched Luke for the evening.
I met up with my High School girlfriends for yummy sushi and great conversation at Happy Sumo after the shopping.
(Picture from dinner to come once I get it)
The next morning I woke up to breakfast and presents.
Luke even gave me a present by sleeping in a little later than usual, giving me time to get ready for the day before I had him as a helper.
When I got home from church Jared made me a nice, cooling Coke Zero with a lime.
Mmmm….
After church we all crashed for a nap before going over to my momma’s house for dinner.
It was just a refreshing weekend.
I have to admit that Luke and I had a rough week this last week.
He is going through a phase that I haven’t adjusted to real well.
We are working together on it though and hopefully the screaming and bossiness (from him, not me) will get less and less as time goes on.
I often reflect too much on the guilt and things I think I do wrong as a mother.
Mother’s Day was a great reminder for me to collect myself and remember how lucky I am to be a mom to such a great little boy who loves to give me kisses.
He really is the best little boy I could ever have asked for. He makes me laugh everyday.
Most things in life are only temporary. Most things change either for the good or bad.
Some things I am happy for the change while others make me sad.
I am happy and sad to see Luke growing and changing so fast, it is definitely bittersweet.
The great thing is I am the one that gets to see the changes in him everyday and that is priceless to me.
I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day.
I love this post. Being a mom is really so hard, and Mother's Day isn't just for us to be celebrated but for us to be reminded at how special it is. Ryan is being quite the stinker lately, but your post helped me realize that I need to find more positive things in what he's doing than complaining about this new stage. :)
ReplyDeleteHarper is in a similar phase and it is quite frustrating.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that it makes me feel better to know that others are going through it, too.
I'm glad you had a happy mother's day. You deserved it.
You are a great mother, and you deserved all the pampering. Luke is a very special boy. He is so lucky to have you.
