My First Mother's Day!

It was wonderful! I took full advantage of having the hubby home with me all weekend. This was a first in many weeks. Guess what I wanted to do? CLEAN! I had every intention of cleaning all day Saturday so I could enjoy the actual day on Sunday. Well, that didn't go as planned because Drake came down with a cold on Thursday. And that meant I came down with a cold on Thursday. So, all day Saturday, I sat my happy hind end on the couch and watched reruns of One Tree Hill. The hubby and Drake slept in the chair for 3 hours! 3! I loved it. After lazing around all afternoon, we got up and went out. Where, you ask?? Why, to Wal-mart, of course! We bought Drake a mess-proof bib! He started eating green beans on Saturday, his 5 month birthday! What a big boy! After feeding them to him, we realized cloth bibs do not cut it. Then, we ate at Zaxby's. It was a good Saturday. Sunday, I woke up feeling even worse, but trucked through some cleaning. We decided to eat at Cracker Barrel for Mother's Day. Delish! But, I still felt like yuckliness. So did the hubby. Drake was fine. We headed to Wal-mart (shocking!) and then to the in-laws, then finally home. Thankfully, I feel much better today, however, I was a little disappointed that on my first Mother's Day, I was sick. Boo.

3 weeks!

No, I'm not three weeks pregnant...I think I would pass out instead of blog. What I mean is: 3 weeks until my sweet sweet husband is home with me for summer vacation! I cannot wait! June will be an outstanding month! I am so ready to spend day in and day out with him for an entire month. I intend to occupy his time entirely. It is so bittersweet. I've waited all year for June to roll around so we could be together with our baby, but at the same time, I've been dreading June. Because once June is gone, so is he. For 3 months. 3...long...months...It's the hardest thing ever. Being apart. Waking up from a dream about him and realizing your best friend is not beside you. Walking into the kitchen to fix coffee and knowing he won't be there to share a cup with you. Eating alone, whether at home or at a restaurant. Taking the dog for our evening stroll without him. Taking care of our sweet baby, wondering if what you're doing is right and wishing you had his opinion to help you out. The loneliness. That's the worst. It's so hard having your best friend with you everyday, then having him ripped from the fabric of your life for 3 months. I really shouldn't complain since it is 3 months. At least it's not forever...I love you hubby! You don't know how much you will be missed.
