Mother's Day

My alarm clock went off and I hit the snooze.  A few minutes later, Jemma crept into our room, went to Tom and started "whispering" that they had to go make muffins!  I put whispering in quotes because I don't know if a four year old truly whispers or not!  She is getting better at it!  She was so sweet.  She kept shushing Tom and making him tip toe!  I heard banging and clanging go on downstairs and then she came back up to wake me with a sweet kiss and "Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!"

We went down and enjoyed the yummy muffins and all my goodies.  At school, they had made a patterned flower garden, a coffee filter dyed flower, and a book all about Mom.  It had questions like "what does mom do while you are at school?"  Jemma's answer - cleans!!  We will all laugh about that one day!  My house is neat, but I hate cleaning!!  It was the sweetest book!  She also got to decorate a cake at Publix.  Under the purple heart is all kinds of sprinkles and icing squiggles!  Precious!  The best is she signs all her cards now and even wrote, "I love you"!

(Sorry for the terrifying/ no makeup/ crazy hair look!  Just keeping it real!)

We went to church and then headed to Middleton Place Plantation for their lunch.

Notice my snazzy heels.  I love them.  They are very comfortable until you fall in them!  I was coming down the steps at the restaurant and I don't know if I turned wrong or if the heel went, but down I went tail over tin cans (as my mother in law would say, but substitute the tail for a less blog appropriate A word!)  I am pretty sure I did a fabulous spin with leg in the air and all.  Did I mention that I was within arms length of a group of people touring?  Brilliant!  Not only did I give them the privilege of seeing my fall on my katookas, but I am pretty sure with the leg in the air spin, they got a pretty good shot of my panties.  Nice...

Tom keeps asking if I am all right.  They keep asking me if I am o.k. and that I should walk on it.  I am wanting to cry, but put on the brave face of "Oh!  I am o.k.!"  They kept talking to me.  Take note people... I know you are trying to be nice, but I am embarrassed beyond belief.  I want everyone to ignore me and pretend they had never seen anything.  If you ever witness anyone fall, check on them, and then move on!!

 A wave of nausea hit and I had to sit.  The gentleman just looked at my husband and said, "Shock.  It will pass in a minute."  Thanks.  That helped.  I hobbled (pretty gracefully, I might add) back to the car and spent the rest of the day like this...

So there you have my unforgettable Mother's Day!  It was the best one yet!

See my new couch!  I will be posting my living room next week!
