Mother's Day

Let me just start out by saying that I propose that we should make Mother's Day an entire week.
We deserve way more than a day.

Let me also say that my life was threatened today if I didn't blog.
Yes, I'm alive.
Yes, I've been way too busy at work.
And yes, I'm blogging today so that Meredith doesn't get Memphis on me. Cause I recently witnessed that on IG.

I also would like to propose something else- accountants should get off all summer like teachers do.
Simply because I need a summer break.

In honor of Mother's Day, I would like to tell you all what I want for this special day. Because I know you all need my address so you can send me gifts.

For Mother's Day I wanted.....

....skinny legs

.....jeans that fit

.....a week long vacation to the beach

.....a house that cleans itself

.....kids that never argue

.....and also kids that LOVE to take baths and wash their hair

Please tell me my kids are not the only girls in the world who despise baths?! It is freaking killing me.

....world peace

....to be a stay-at-home-mom

.....to win the lottery

......FH to be a stay-at-home-husband because I hate when he leaves me at night

.....the most amazing body pillow you have ever seen for just about $5

.....all of my friends to come work with me so we can visit more

......for some amazing teenager to come babysit everyday this summer for free so I don't have to send the girls to a camp they don't want to go to

.....a baby

......one less chin

......fat free chocolate

I think that's about it. That do-able, right?

Even though I wanted all of those things, guess what I got?
Yes, I know, it's early. My kids were anxious.

First off, I got these homemade posters with candy and a giftcard.
Which I love.
If you know me, you know I HATE store bought cards.
I would much rather you make me something.

And then, last night, a miracle happened.
I'm still in shock.

You see, I was feeling awful.
Like I need to go to bed at 8:00 awful.
But FH had to leave for work at 8 because people send 10,987,357 shipments during Mother's Day week.
He made the girls promise they would go to bed at 8:45 on their own.
He let them have 15 extra minutes than normal in exchange for some responsibility. The man is a godsend, I tell ya.

Well, I got up at 8:45.
Figuring the girls would still be watching TV on the ipad.
Nope.
Alex was up locking the door and making sure the garage door was closed. Making sure all of the lights were turned off.
Kate was already in bed.

Best. Kids. Ever.

And they both gave me kisses and hugs and were the sweetest little angels ever.

It's nice to know that when I really need them to be good, they can pull it outta nowhere and be responsible, good little girls.

Of course, I was smacked in the face this morning with a dose of reality when they argued the entire way to school.

But that one night of peace should last me awhile.

Hope everyone had a great week!
I'll be back Monday with some exciting news. :)
