Mother's Day Wish

Mission accomplished!

You're probably wondering what is up with the picture of the outlet? Well, if there was one thing that I truly desired for Mother's Day, it was that the bathroom outlet (right above the bathroom sink), which is the last thing I see when I go to bed, and the first thing I see when I wake up, finally be fixed! Since we moved here, about 3 years ago, RT and I switched out all the old, yellow-stained outlets, light switches, and switchplates.

Unfortunately, not all of them were changed. And while I have asked my husband to fix the one in our bathroom, it's been on the top ten list of many "honeydew" lists, for whatever reason it was never done.

So, I let my husband know that the one thing I would LOVE for Mom's Day, and it wouldn't even cost him anything, was to get that fixed! Now, how could he deny me that?

In all seriousness, my day started out great. He made me one of my favorite breakfast dishes from scratch, eggs benedict. Then, we took P and Jannu out for a long morning walk in the fresh ocean air. The best part was that I got to take a nice little nap while he worked on the bathroom outlet! Bonus!

But, of course, the best part was to awaken to the sound of my chatty daughter and realize how lucky I am to be able to call myself a mother. As I watched my daughter today and enjoyed the person she is becoming, I realized that everyday is Mother's Day! It is very nice to recognize moms on this day, though. At the very least, it gives us all a chance to say how much we appreciate our mothers--whether it is our actual mother, mother-in-law, sister, grandmother, niece, or friend. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there who have touched my life in so many ways, but especially to my own mother whom I love very much! Also, thank you to my husband for making this such an extra special day for me!
