My Mom's Day
May. 14th, 2007 09:11 amHrm...the day started slowly. With K wandering in around 8am to crawl into bed with me for a snuggle. We talked about getting ready to go to church.
I think we talked with her daddy on the WebCam for a bit before I headed to the shower. She picked out my clothes for the day. Black Pants, Black Velvet Top, underwear and striped multi-coloured TOE socks!!! I added a bra and bright blue short sleeve shirt under the black velvet and was set.
Off we went. K wanted park time, so she ran off there and I drove the car up to pick her up. She picked a whole handful of dandylions for me.
A trip through the drive through for a cookie and a coffee, then over to the GIG. They have a new room for the "giggles" that I didn't konw about so K was with me for the first little bit. There was talk about mother's and images playing which she liked. Then a music video of a little girl and her mother arguing about being the perfect family, it made me sad. At the end of the video, K turned around in her seat and said "I love you mommy," and pursed her lips for a kiss.
We headed back to the coffee table as it was getting boring for her, and someone told us there were other kids in the giggles room and took us down there. I gave her a hug and went to enjoy the "sermon."
The talk was about "love relationships" and the influence our parents have on them. They talked about "a man leaves his family, cleaves with his wife and they become one" as 3 separate things. I really took home, the part of "leaving the family." A recent discussion about the baggage we get from our parents that impacts our current love relationships really emphasized to me how much we bring forward from our past. The couples (it was the 2 pastors and their wives" leading the talk, shared how hard it sometimes was for them to realize when they were acting as their parents would and not within the relationship THEY have chosen to have... It was interesting. As ever, a trip to the GIG both inspires me and depresses me!! I'm inspired to make change and depressed that I have not made all of them yet... *sigh*
From the GIG, we collected![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
k_calypso, and off to Canadian Tire for my mom's day gift to the household!! I bought pretty dishes!! I had a rain check from when they were on sale and so that was happy making. We got home, K & k_calypso played in the park, while I sorted out an upset stomach...
Then K settled into a movie (POM POKO again), and the painting began in earnest. I know have no more green hallways. The laundry room and insides of closets are all that remain of that horrendous colour!! Around 3pm, K was downstairs sobbing... I investigated only to find that she was hungry... SO we had lunch.
After painting, we three walked to the "big park" with the BEAMO. A spirited game was begun and joined by other random park enthusiasists...then it was a wander home to make supper.k_calypso made a brilliant salad (with dressing) while K put the flyers in a bag for recycling. I tackled the grilling of Pork Chops. A candelight "rotic" (romantic without the man) dinner was had!!! Then dishes and off to DQ for a treat.
I had promised K she could sleep in my bed last night, but she walked in the door and stumbled to her bed. I pulled the blankets up over her and it was the end of our mother's day. *smile*
