Happy days!

What a great few days! I got flowers today for Mother's Day. I'm not usually a big flower person, or a big mandated commercial holiday person, or even a surprise person. Heck, I buy my own gifts and just tell Greg what he got me. I figure he shows me how important I am and how much he loves me all the time, why put such pressure on him on the certain days that Hallmark demands? So the bag (which shipped today, yay!) was my Mother's Day gift.

But the flowers were a total shock, and came from my stepfather of all people. It was so much more meaningful because it was so random. Lee isn't a touchy feely kind of guy so to get flowers from just him was really amazing. It felt so nice! I'm going home to visit in a few weeks and it made me even more homesick.

I also had a great business meeting today. I was at school last week in line for my post test burrito and overheard someone else talking. It was so weird, I just heard one word and my ears perked up. Turns out it was someone I have been looking for a long time, and the meeting today was a big "aha!" thing. I'm feeling like things are taking their own natural course, which is really odd. Okay, I know that whole paragraph is cryptic, but I don't want to say too much right now. Plus, this isn't really a work blog so I'm trying not to fill it with work.

I also had a picnic with Nathan at his school today. It was nice to spend some time with just him. With two other younger kids at home almost no one gets one on one time without an act of congress. It's so nice that he is still not too big to sit on Mom's lap and snuggle in the middle of his school. His friends ran by and he didn't want to go play, just snuggle with his Mommy. Soon he'll barely want to talk to me, and I really cherished today. He even let me take a rare 15 minute nap later in the day (after bribing him with Super Hero videos of course.) Shipping rates go up on Monday so I will be up very late tonight. I guess I should stop messing around!
