Quiet Day

Well, Sunday was a lovely quiet day...just what was ordered for this mama.  Car Guy took me to breakfast....after letting me sleep late...Are any of you in relationships with morning people?  Aren't they disgusting?  Ugh!  He wakes up all chipper and chatty and all I want is my coffee and quite...and for crying out loud, on Sunday, don't wake me before 9 am....if then.  That doesn't normally happen, but on Mother's Day, I slept until 10 am...it was bliss.


We have a tendency to keep things kind of low key around here.  The main thing about Mother's Day is that the Mama gets to do whatever she wants,  so I put a pot roast on when we got back from breakfast and planted myself on the sofa with my needles and yarn and proceeded to watch the first season of "Downton Abbey" and oh my, I'm hooked.  My Sainted Mother, Frankie and my Mother in Law came over to enjoy some quality PBS entertainment and eat the pot roast for dinner. After cooking all day, the roast was perfect.

My Sainted Mother loved her Airy Scarf and laughed when I told her it was purely decorative. The color does such beautiful things with her blue eyes. 

Now, I have to share my Mother's Day card with you...It's not the typical hearts and flowers kind of card, but it so epitomizes my off beat family, that it's perfect...
Yeah, I'm that kind of mama, so encouraging. Of course, it's also perfect because My Boys picked it out for me.

All in all, it was a perfect Mother's Day.  Going back to work on Monday was quite a shock to my system.  I hope all you mamas out there were able to spend your Mother's Day the way you wanted!

  1. Oop's! I am that morning person! I get up about 3 or 4 every morning and after inhaling a pot of coffee by the time the rest of the crew rolls out of bed I am ready to greet them!
    Love the card! I received one with 'donkey's' on the front and a little cute saying inside.

  2. Yeah, I am a morning person too. Once I am up, let's get at it. My hubby not so much...he often looks at me in a state of utter confusion as I chatter away in the morning :)

  3. I'm a night owl. Never been a morning person...hopefully never will. ;) Husband is one to get up early and make the coffee and read. He doesn't want to "waste the day away".
    Love the card!!! It's great! Luckily both my boys like peas. Glad you enjoyed your day!

  4. I am *NOT* a morning person and love our easy going retired mornings. I adore Downton Abbey.. we bought the 2 season box set from PBS's website.. love the scarf.. but I crowed with laughter and read your card out loud to hubby who also got a big kick out of it. I wish more of these modern moms would do that with their kids. My daughter's 2 girls have to have custom made meals in addition to what she and her husband eat.. tsk tsk.
    ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  5. Count me as one of those morning people! I talk non stop :) It would be about knitting so I might entertain you while you wake up. Lovely mother's day you celebrated!!!

  6. Hahahahaha! Love the card! And I'd love to see Downton Abbey! Haven't yet had that pleasure. My sister got hooked on that a few months back.

    Glad you had a good Mother's Day!

  7. Great card!!! I am not a morning person either (if see early blog posts from me? written the day before and set to auto-post) Even though my mom and I run a playschool together, I don't get up until 8:00 (maybe even later at times) and don't arrive until after 9:00. I am lucky that Bunny likes to sleep late too! (oh dear what if this baby is an early riser???)

  11. LOL! I freaking LOVE that card! I think you & I would get along beautifully off line! Ha! Ha! :) I'm glad you had a great Mother's Day!

    And yes, I am a disgustingly chipper morning person, but I know you won't hold that against me. My husband is a night person. Sometimes I'm waking up, and he is just falling asleep. That happens a lot actually. But at least, we get to see each other, without kids all over us, even if for a little while. Its kinda nice. :)

  12. That card looks like something my daughter would give me, she hates peas! Her father still insists on putting them on her plate when she visits, just to annoy her!
