This long, long week is finally over. I spent much less time at home than I originally anticipated (you would think I'd learn at some point that my plans never work out the way I intend them to!). I worked an extra half day, and had to go to Washington two days in a row.
My sweet J-Bird is keeping up with her school work despite the craziness. L complains, but is along for the ride. Both dogs are bitter at being locked up all day. The chickens are just pleased that they could spend the afternoon in the garden yesterday, and all the poo miraculously disappeared from their pen while they were otherwise occupied.
This weekend will be make-up and catch-up...AFTER I get to celebrate Mother's Day a day early. The girls are at a sleep over tonight, but we will pick them up bright and early to go out for breakfast...something with piles of whipped cream on top. This will be followed by a trip to my favorite local nursery, as I am searching for a couple of ornamental trees (and whatever else might catch my fancy but is not the least bit enticing to deer.)
Following the "me time", I would like to lay in the hammock with both of the reasons that I can celebrate being a Mom and read to them until my voice gives out.
So here's a shout out to all you exhausted Mom's out there. I wish you all a peaceful weekend that is filled with macaroni hearts, #1 Mom awards, and sweet, sticky hugs and kisses.

Happy Mother's Day to you, too. I do hope your day tomorrow is lazier and more relaxing. You deserve it!
