*Chatting with a cousin who is eight years older doesn't seem weird anymore. We finally feel like we're living in the same universe.
*All of my cousins lead "adult" lives. Strange.
*I had ONE beer and a 1/2 glass of champagne, chased around a 20 month old, danced and chatted until 9:30. I was in bed before 11 and got up at 7. Somehow, the wedding weekend wore me out.
*Holidays are no longer just about gifts. When you're young, you think about holidays in terms of "what am I going to get?" I never really understood why people said, "I don't need anything." It's true... I would love to go shopping right now, but can't afford to. Yet, today's Mother's Day was all about the thought and less about the gifts.
Bryan called me around 7:30 this morning to wish me a Happy Mother's Day. And he didn't wake me up... (another sign of getting old - or having a kid!) It was very thoughtful. When I got home, I had beautiful flowers on the counter. I don't get flowers very often, so it was a treat.
It was the other little things that made today special like some free time (to do laundry, put away dishes, and correct papers - but it was sans kid), taking one of my chores to be done by Bryan, and getting to pick out EVERYTHING about supper. Pizza - pepperoni and green olives from my favorite pizza place, Bene.
Happy Mother's Day to all!

For mother's day, I asked for a swing set for my kids. It is all about the children now.
Happy Mother's Day to you! It sounds like a wonderful weekend.
Thanks and Happy Mother's Day to all of you!
I'm glad you had a good day! And, yes, I know exactly what you mean about feeling old. I think it just comes with parenthood. Looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend, too!
