What a wonderful day I had yesterday! My family is awesome! I was so very touched by my daughter's generosity. She insisted (to her Gigi) that she give her mama beautiful flowers! They arrived around 5pm on Saturday, brightening my mood! She chose a lovely bouquet in a lavender vase. The next morning, we went to brunch, but not before she presented me with treats! Chocolate dipped strawberries she made herself. Sublime! I think the media is really to thank/blame for this--she has seen several commercials on television regarding mothers day floral arrangements and one for mail order chocolate strawberries. Funny how that gets through to her so clearly. She's taken to pausing TV (we have a dvr) on a certain commercial and saving it for me to watch--it's always a product she thinks I need to buy right now!!
Our adventure at brunch wasn't so spectacular, but I am getting used to this! Before we left, Wes (he opted out, thought brunch should just be for the girls) mentioned that he hoped we had a good brunch for once, perhaps our run of bad luck was over. Well, he jinxed us!!
Gigi was served raw salmon, not just rare, but raw! It could have been handled in any number of ways, but unfortunately the server never returned to see how our food was, so... Don't you just hate having to flag down the server to ask for the manager??!? Despite the bad food and poor service, we had a fun time that morning. I truly do feel special. Sometimes when I'm feeling tired and sort of used up, I need a day like this to put things in perspective. My life is amazing! I have a very precocious daughter who makes my world go 'round, a sweet baby boy who brightens the nights with his smile, and an amazingly loving, funny, handsome, brilliant husband who just really does it for me. I am a lucky girl!
