Wow, I can't believe there are only five weeks left of school. I'm so looking forward to summer time activities with the girls and a little more freedom in our schedule. I'm so tired of having my day chopped up with Tegan coming home at 11 and Kelby coming home at 3. Of course, I'll miss Tegan when she goes to school full days in September, but we'll enjoy our summer days to the full since we won't be on such a tight schedule.
Mom got me so motivated while she was here. She planted a garden for me and helped me prepare a spot for a cement patio. It was hard work, but it was fun mother-daughter time for me and Mom. She's got the green-thumb skills I don't. Now it is all set up to be a low-maintanence garden which is the best for me. I told Mom that this could be her "summer" garden since all her plants die in Arizona for the summer. It looks just beautiful out there. We love this yard in the Spring/Summer.
There was even good weather for Mom while she was here. She was still cold, but at least there was sun and little rain. We gave her a "fake" Mother's Day on Wednesday with breakfast in bed and lunch out. It was nice to celebrate it with her since I don't normally get to.
On Friday after Mom left, I went to an all-day leadership simulcast at my church. It focused on business leadership, but I gleaned some things for the leadership stuff I'm working on for my church. Then on Saturday I gave a workshop on leadership at that Proverbs 31 brunch that I go to. It is that once-a-month ladies brunch...a highlight of my month. Then I got to relax on Mother's Day. The two weeks before were packed full, though not stressful. Now I'm just taking it a bit easy.
I got breakfast in bed on Mother's Day, but I had accidentally found my present the day before. It was a table and chairs for my front porch. Oops. Then we went to church were I got my free box of chocolates! Can't beat that. The weather wasn't so great, so we just hung out and relaxed, which was greatly appreciated.
I've got to get that patio in now, so hopefully I'll be working on that this weekend. I'm excited about it, so I better do it now while I'm still motivated.
