A Happy Mother’s Day to all the mommies out there. We had a glorious weekend here. Eric got 3 days off in a row which was heaven! We spent time together, relaxing and enjoying our family. Saturday, Aidan became a Webelo scout and we enjoyed a great pot luck dinner with the other scouts and their families. Orren is looking forward to the fall when he can join in scouting also. I do love the scouting organization and the things it teaches. I am very glad we signed the boys up.
I spent my day at work today. Twelve hours of sitting in the station with nothing to do. I did manage to get one of my last homework assignments of the semester finished and submitted. Only 1 more test and 1 more written assignment and I am done! For two weeks anyway. New classes start May 24th. Hopefully tomorrow will prove as productive, in one way or the other.
My house is staying relatively picked up and clean. Our new floor attracts dog hair like crazy so I think we will have to be sweeping it daily now instead of weekly but it is a small thing to do in exchange for a beautiful looking floor. I am doing well with keeping up with the small tasks such as wiping down my bathroom daily, making my bed, and getting the dishes all done before I go to bed at night. I feel much better and less stressed in the mornings when I wake up to a clean kitchen. The kids are falling into the new routines as well. They have been doing well at putting their dirty dishes in the dishwasher and washing the pots and pans after dinner. They are working at picking up after themselves before bedtime and after school. Hopefully we can keep a good routine going.
Today I received some wonderful gifts from my children. 6 beautiful white roses, 1 pink rose, 4 hand made cards, 2 cards, 2 necklaces made by my littlest boys at daycare, 4 pink petunias and a lot of hugs. A perfect ending to Mother’s Day.
