This is another belated post, but for those who care, I had a great Mother’s Day. I only wanted one thing — to be able to sleep in — and that is what I got. Unfortunately, I can hardly sleep past 8:30 a.m. anymore, and all I have to say is that’s just sick, sick sick. I used to be an inveterate sleeper, able to sleep into the early afternoon or even the evening, and considering my constant sleep-deprived state, you’d think I could have done better than 8:30. Next thing you know I’ll be shaving my corns, taking my teeth out and getting into bed at 7 p.m. in order to “get an early start.” Ah, the old age, it is setting in.
Anyway, when I finally gave up and got out of bed (a little after 9), I was greeted with breakfast and presents. Ben made me a lovely present all by himself (well, all by himself in a class of 26 children, 2 teachers, a translator and a teaching assistant). It is a tie-dye picture that he framed, and I have to say he did a really nice job. He somehow managed to make a star — it really looks like a star — which makes him 100% better at tie-dye than me.
Maya gave me a gift card for a massage at Spa One. I’ve never been to Spa One, but I am totally and completely okay with massages. Maya is a very perceptive 2-year-old, to know how I like massages. She already brushes my hair for me, so setting up mani-pedis and scheduling my weekly masseuse is just the next step. I love daughters.
Last but not least, Marti got me this book, called Porn For New Moms:
There are many choice pages in it, but this was my personal favorite:
I hope your Mother’s Day was just as special!
