Mother's Day

1:12 PM Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »
Last weekend I got to enjoy my very first Mother’s Day.  I feel so incredibly blessed to be able to call myself this little guy’s momma.  He means the world to me and I can’t imagine my life without him.  :)  


I was looking forward to Mother’s Day so I could sleep in.  Phil has only gotten up with Remy one day in the last 7+ months.  I don’t mind getting up because he’s so cute and happy in the morning and I don’t like sleeping in too late because then I feel like the day is half over already.  But to sleep until 8:00 was my goal.  Rem usually wakes up sometime between 6:15-7:30 so Phil was going to get up with him but the little stinker slept in until 8:00!  He was my alarm clock.  :)  Phil is lucky he didn’t have to get up early!

I was also looking forward to Mother's Day just because I wanted to spend the day with my little family and do something fun - no cleaning, no laundry, no sitting at home.  Those things could wait. 
Phil made me some yummy waffles for breakfast and I slowly got ready for my day.  It was so nice to be able to enjoy my coffee and take a nice long shower and not worry about Remy needing something because Phil was watching him.  Around noon we were off.  We grabbed some Subway on our way to the Como Zoo and had ourselves a little picnic outside on the grass.  Then we walked around the zoo and enjoyed the great outdoors!  There were barely any animals outside so the zoo was pretty boring but it was just nice to be out and about.  Remy loved the zoo.  He was squealing with delight!  I honestly don’t think he noticed any of the animals – he just liked all the people and being outside.  After the zoo we headed to Hudson and walked down by the river and got some frozen yogurt at the new place downtown, Freestyle yogurt (or something of that sort).  Apparently mothers got free ice cream that day so that was really nice!  Then we swung by Phil’s mom’s house for a quick visit and then went home to watch a movie and enjoy some Savoy’s pizza (my favorite).  
Phil got me a ring for Mother’s Day but I don’t have it yet.  I should be getting it this week or early next week.  I’ll post a pic once I get it.  It’s super cute (I picked it out)!  Then Remy made me a cute little Mother’s Day gift with the assistance of his auntie Jewells (also his daycare lady).  It was so sweet!  Phil also was going to make something but didn’t have time.  Apparently I’ll be getting that later this week too.  Phil’s a procrastinator.  ;)
It was such a nice day!  I wonder what Phil will want to do on Father’s Day.  :)

...It's been a while

I had a lovely weekend! Phil and I went on our date Friday night. We decided to go to the Hammond Hotel again since that has now become Phil’s favorite restaurant. We have been there a good number of times and have always loved it but this time it was pretty bad. Haha We got stuck with a really stupid waitress. She was so stupid that it was funny. Phil and I are still laughing about it. She was like the stupid blonde in the movies who you think, nobody can be that stupid in real life, and she was!!! Then we just went home and popped in a good movie and relaxed.

Saturday I went to look at 3 houses. We were supposed to look at 4 but one had an accepted offer of course. The first house we looked at was just outside of Hammond. I would have to say that was my favorite out of the 3, however, it was still a no. The next house was in Eau Galle and I loved, loved, loved the area and it had plenty of acres to go with the house. The house however, too small. :( So we were off to the 3rd house which was in Spring Valley. Let’s just say it was an old farm house that nobody has updated… ever. That was also a negative. So, I have now looked at 4 houses total and all of them were a big fat NO. We still have plenty more time though! I am already stressing out over this house deal. I am afraid we might find a house too soon and we can’t put an offer in quite yet. But I am also afraid that we won’t find one before December 1st. If we don’t find one before December 1st we will have to sign a new lease on our duplex and we will also loose out on the free $8,000 the government wants to give us! Now that is something to stress about!

Sunday Phil and I did some heavy duty cleaning. We cleaned the whole house, mopped the floors and even steam cleaned the couches and the carpet. Now our house doesn’t smell like dogs anymore!!! Yay! After we got the house cleaned we headed over to his mom’s house for Mother’s Day and it was also her birthday. There were about 20 people from his mom’s side of the family there and we grilled out and ate good food. :) We were supposed to go see Wolverine but we didn’t leave his mom’s house in time. Hopefully next weekend we will go see it!

Phil just texted me something as I was writing this blog that just made my day!!! He sent me a picture of the coffee can we have at home and said this is why I’m so tired, read the top of the can. Haha it is decaf!!!!!! Now if you know Phil like I do you would think that is hilarious!!!!!!!! I started laughing out loud here at work!! He was wondering why he has been so tired lately. He drinks a lot of coffee in the morning and sometimes when he gets home from work. On days when he doesn’t go to work he pretty much drinks the whole pot. And for the last few weeks he has been drinking decaf!!! Oh my god, that’s hilarious!

p.s. Sorry it has been so long since I last blogged! I'll try to be more on top of things!
