How I survived Mother's Day '09

  • Ran the annual Sport Chek Mother's Day 5K with ALK in the AM. Did not disgrace myself too badly, despite not running a 5K in AGES.
  • Went to Eat Eat with ALK and her husband for a massive late breakfast of fruit salad, french toast, and sausages swimming in maple syrup.
  • Picked up my new sofa/trundle bed for the playroom/guest room from darling Gena.
  • Met my brother David at Home Depot to pick up a BBQ.
  • Took David to Costco so he could purchase some hostas at a great price.
  • Delivered aforementioned BBQ from sibs and me to Mother to replace her old, decrepit one.
  • Happily surprised said Mother.
  • Lovely brother David gave me my first Mother's Day card. All weekend I was busy not thinking about not qualifying for motherhood for another year, when he handed me the card. It's actually a Mother-To-Be card and his words are perfect. (click to enlarge)

I hope all you mothers had a wonderful day - especially those of you celebrating it for the first time!
