Happy Mommy Day

Happy Mommy Day to all of the wonderful Mums out there, especially to my Mum (I love you Mooma). My day was fantastically fabulous. I awoke to an excited whisper fest between my daughter and my favorite guy. I kept my eyes closed as not to let her know that I was aware of the impending surprise which consisted of breakfast and flowers that she had hidden under her bed the night before.

With the smell of bacon filling the air, I lay in bed reading "The Secret Life of Bees", which I have been trying to finish for about a month now, a few pages at a time. As a single working parent, or any parent for that matter, life does not allow for much reading time, so to make it through two uninterrupted chapters was wonderful. Though I was not sleeping, I still consider this to be a sleep in morning...I had the entire bed to myself, Miley Cyrus was not whining away on my tv, and there was not a certain little girlie asking if she could please have two freezies for breakfast (you never know, I just might say yes one day).

At one point, I got up and stood in my doorway so that I could hear what was going on in the kitchen, I had to cover my mouth so that my giggles were not heard. Rob asked Aunaka what came first, the chicken or the egg. She gave it some thought and decided that the egg must have come first. This discussion led her to inform Rob that humans 'transformed' from monkeys, Big Guy (my dad, a biology professor) had told her so. Rob asked what kind of monkeys....."chimpanzees" was her response. I love that little girl.

After a delicious breakfast, we decided to head out to the Public Gardens and the Museum of Natural History. It was so nice to see so many Mums out enjoying their day, young Mums, middle aged Mums and older Mums....so nice. I even saw some Dads spending the day alone with thier kiddies and hoped that they had sent the Mums to the spa for the day....that would be a wonderful day too.

We decided to top the day off with a sausage from the Spring Garden sausage guy. We sat on the wall and enjoyed every bite (except for the parts of Aunaka's bun that she shared with the pigeons). The only thing missing from this scene was Bud the Spud and the smell of greasy fries....mmmmmm.... Halifax is already missing you Bud.

Now my girlie is in the tub, I have a load of laundry on and the dishwasher going, lunches to make, bed time stories and then off to bed.....ahhhhh, the life of a Mum......I wouldn't trade it for any amount of money in the world. I am truly blessed in this life. Happy Mommy Day. xo
