Happy Mother's Day!

To all the Moms out there, I hope you have a wonderful day. I know my day started out great. My wonderful husband had flowers waiting for me when I woke up. I told him once when we first started dating that I think flowers are a waste of money. I'm glad he didn't listen and suprises me with them every now and then. True, they die within days and cost waaaaay too much (especially on Mother's Day) but I love to know that he was thinking about me and wanted to do something nice for me. It's a gesture that goes a long way.

The other day I heard a mom say "I have no free time on my hands but tons of free time in my head". I know exactly what she means. I'm busy ALL the time. Some days it seems I never stop. But my brain never seems to be stimulated. I read kid books, do kid puzzles and play kid games. I love it, don't get me wrong. I just have lots of free time in my brain for day dreaming. Mostly of a new home. (If you didn't already know, we've sold our townhouse and we're desperately searching for a new home.) I think about how to decorate, what furniture to buy (what furniture we can afford to buy), what will the kids think, how hard will it to be to make the mortgage payment.....is it all worth it? YES! I think we'll be house poor for a while, but that's just part of life, right? Eventually our car will be paid off and raises will come in (hopefully!) and everthing will work out. I have my eye on one particualr house, and it's all I think about. Its' perfect and I don't want to get my hopes up, but I already have. I hope it works out and I hope when we're settled you all come to see it. Just don't make fun of our lack of furniture to fill it up, after all, it's three times the size of our current home.

(Sorry for yet another picture-less post. I'll get better.)
