Today

Today I ran a million errands and spent what felt like a million bucks. As the cashier at Costco rattle off my total, I realized it was same total at the previous three stops: $100!!!! Thankfully, I will get reimbursed for some of things as the official "Mother's Day and Ryder's Birthday shopper". The worst was filling up my gas tank, $38.00-ouch (I drive a 4 cylinder compact car; it should cost $15.00!!!).

We met up with D & L and the boys to celebrate Mother's Day. Randy is on shift Sunday and tonight worked best for everyone. My brother-in-laws are the sweetest bunch of guys. They all gave me a card and $$ with strict instruction to spend it on myself (shoes are in my forecast!!). They gave a ton of hugs and went on and on about what an great mom I am (if they only knew...I have my not so good moments people). Now if only one of them (or all of them) would get married so we could balance out the 'Sunday after church lunch', girl to boy ratio in that household (thank goodness Auntie Coleen and Auntie Paula come over!).

Off to work in my sewing room, I am attempting to finish a dress for Mother's Day, we'll see......
