A photo from last year...I adore this captured moment in between shots. Of course the Monday after Mother’s Day they would test us over ALL psychiatric medications. And of course it would be from the professor that can not teach and is VERY old school. And of course it would DECIDE our grade in the class.
But instead of the woe is me attitude, I made an executive decision.
I will move the holiday to my date of choice. This allows me to study guilt free and to enjoy the benefits of the said day to my fullest desire. Plus, I better get into the practice of moving a holiday…afterall, I am in healthcare now.
Needless to say, I did get my gifts (the theme was simple indulgences…I love themes) on Mother’s Day. My favorite?
A sleep mask from Target. 
What a fabulous gift! And under $5? I love it.
If I have a moment to squeeze in..you better believe a nap will be involved. My husband is ever so thoughtful and so loving….and better yet, he let me test drive it Sunday and today.
Now…if only I could look as lovely as Holly Golightly when I awoke.
Cheers~

P.S. So Mother's Day for Lola, Mom and me is THIS Sunday. :) OH! No quiz or test till Thursday! I am feeling a project coming on. :)
We moved Mother's Day to last weekend. Momma was up here for lots 'o doctor visits, so my sister came up and we celebrated a week early. A good thing, since Momma came down with the flu Saturday this weekend. : (
ReplyDeleteI hope you thoroughly enjoy your mother and grandmother this weekend!
Hello you sweet thing...so glad you moved mother's day. I did too...took myself a personal day last Thursday...allowed myself a coffee at Border's, a new book, and time in Goodwill, and time to create. It was a splendid day.
ReplyDeleteSunday was not a good day...sewage/plumbing problems creating a horrific mess over the weekend. Oh so fun. Having lost two moms myself, I truly do not enjoy the day. Aren't I merry sunshine? So...I had a little spell in my closet of tears, and cleaned for the afternoon. Add in a little too much pms, and I was a splendid mess.
Today was a better day.
Love this pic of you and Thurgood!
Hugs,
julie
