Moms Busy Mornings

Here is how my Friday morning went:

Up at 6AM, shower, get myself ready. 6:45AM wake kids up. Get Lili into her dance leotard and tights, pull her hair up into a tight ponytail and curl it (even though the poor childs hair won't hold a curl for more than 20 minutes, I had to at least try), blush on cheeks, and lipgloss. Lili is getting her dance pictures made this morning and so she had to be all dolled up. Give Jackson his lunch $$ and try to get everyone shoo'd out the door in time. Forget my phone, run back upstairs and grab it off the charger...head out the door. Lili tells me thank you for buying new tights for her, it's the little things, right? She looked absolutely adorable this morning. I can't wait to see her routines in her recital in two weeks.

Eric took Jackson to school this morning because we also had Muffins with Mom at Lili's school today because Mother's Day is on Sunday. =) The lunchroom table for Pre-K 2 was decorated with handmade placemats, a cute little picture of Lili holding a "Happy Mother's Day" heart, and tissue flowers in plastic cup vases. All so pretty and it made my morning, those few special minutes I shared with Lili before the rush of the day took over again.

I got to work and sat down, breathed a sigh of relaxation because I was at work and I could RELAX now. A little ironic, you could say, but such is the life of a Mommy. It's the little smiles, hugs, kisses, and thank you's that make it all worth it. (I will try to post some pics later today.)

Happy Mother's Day to all my Momma friends.
