Okay, so i didn't go back to read last year's blog post, but i don't think it was a particularly peppy one. If i recall correctly, the last 4 mother's days have been pretty rough, between losing my mom and infertility struggles and all. But today, today makes it all worth it!
First of all, i was able to "sleep in". Just 7:45, but still, when i normally wake around 5:45, this is a good thing! Then Alan and D gave me my MD gift. Alan asked what i wanted for MD, and i said maybe something family related, something we could enjoy together. i had D unwrap it for me (to practice for her party lol), and inside the box was a YMCA T-shirt! (Actually 2, one for each of us). We are now proud members of the YMCA. Hooray!
We went to lunch at Satco (same place as the last 2-3 MD's, if i recall through my tear-stained memories), and then we took D swimming at the Y in their indoor pool. It was phenomenal! She really had a blast, especially once she started warming up. And of course i'm insanely in love with water, what with growing up across from a pool when i was little and all the hot baths i take, so i had a blast, too. And Alan (who never had swim lessons and hasn't been swimming much in his life at all), well, he tolerated it for our sake :).
i am hopeful that i'll be able to take a nice hot bath and maybe drink a cold chocolate chip frappucino from Starbucks later on. i've done a really good job conserving water (Nashville is in a water crisis right now), and spent most of the day yesterday doing a week's worth of laundry at my dad's house and hauling a couple of gallons home, and washed the baby's bottles at work 3 days this week, forgoing baths and showers, etc etc, so i think i have earned it.
