Grateful...

So I just celebrated Mother's Day #2...the day ended pretty good I would say...

It all started with my neighbor and I getting the bright idea to make french toast for breakfast...we prepared it the night before. She didn't give me detailed instructions on what to do in the morning besides take the dish of soaked bread out of the fridge and bake it - WRONG! It was a big pile of mush!! So, then I thought I would make egg sandwiches (Brandon's favorite) but I soon thought "why I am trying to go out of my way to COOK something on MY day?" We had a few errands to run anyway so we decided to go to Sonic - nutritious I know. Of course this is where it went down hill....the order was wrong and Brandon didn't want to go back because he hates doing so. I see it as I am the paying customer so I should get what I am paying for. We then stop at an Exxon and when Brandon gets back to the car he is on the phone....it was the worst call to get (for me). We had been planning on him being in Dallas for the week..the first time in a MONTH...but NO it was a call saying he was going to Austin once again. When he told me I was completely overwhelmed that I looked out the window and broke down. Every time I tried to say something I cried even harder. Because my husband is so wonderful he simply told them he could not leave on Sunday but would leave first thing Monday morning...and that's what he did. He was so incredibly sweet that he just put his arm around me and let me cry because he knew how disappointed I was. It's one thing if we had planned for it but I do not do well with my husband leaving town unexpectedly. Guess I better get use to that!

We then went on to Kohl's to get some picture frames. Maddy went with me while Brandon went to Radio Shack. I got nothing accomplished by the time he got back because Madison went to the bathroom 3 times. I guess after the third time she was tired of going so she decided to go POOP in her pants...I was furious. I know that you aren't supposed to punish them for accidents but it was so hard to keep my cool. When it was all said and done we made it home and headed to do the family thing.

We visited Brandon's grandmother's house with his mom's family, which is always fun and then headed to see my mom. We made it back home about 7:15 and finally had time to relax and enjoy each other. I miss him terribly but know that this is an amazing opportunity...God really answers prayers. I am so proud of Brandon and the lengths he will go to provide for our family. I am truly grateful for him, and not to mention the beautiful daughter we have:) I don't know what I would do without him. I love you babe!!

Well I guess since I have now written a book I will try and get some sleep. Hope everyone had a great Mother's Day.
