Silly Mom Thoughts

A miraculous thing happened this week: April 15th came and went. Not normally a big deal, but for this Tax Season Widow, it’s huge. After three months of single parenting for the majority of 6 days a week, in the midst of horrendous morning sickness and fighting cold and flu bugs, I finally have my sweet, wonderful hubby back.

To show my appreciation for all the amazing things he does, I bought Turk and his friend tickets to the Mariner’s game Thursday night. They had fun, drank it up, ate garlic fries, and watched someone fall onto the field, get escorted off, but not before he pulled his pants down. The Ms lost, but it sounds like they still had a great time.

Then, it was my turn to celebrate the end of tax season. My MOPS group puts together an awesome fundraiser every year, where we pay $25 and have 27 hours to craft, write, organize photo albums, and chat with friends. We are fed breakfast, lunch, and dinner and it’s an amazing time to refill my mommy/wife tank. Best of all, we are all kid-and-hubby-free!

So last night, I labeled, dated, and organized into albums 350 pictures- an entire year’s worth of photos. When would I have the chance to do that otherwise? I’ll tell ya: never. In fact, the first picture I had was from last year’s fundraiser. Yeah.

After this blog, I’m going to continue work on my book.

I might take a nap, I might take a coffee break (or three). I may even take a short walk.

But, it’s wonderful to know, that for the next 11 hours I’m free!
