Mother's Day, Mother's Day, Oh How I LOVE Mother's Day!
My family always does such a wonderful job of making me feel special and loved on Mother's Day. This year it started on Friday! Let me start at the beginning.... I had an unexpected root canal on Wednesday and immediately went to work at the Cheshire Cat to get ready for the Canton Flea Market. Thursday was the Flea Market and I was at work at 6a.m.; ( I was taking two tylenol and two advil every 3 hours for the pain) the day was windy and occasionally rainy and we worked really hard to keep things from blowing away and moving things in and out from the rain. When I had time to look around I went to my favorite jewelry booth. I found a necklace that just spoke to me and I had her hold it for me until I could get back later to pay for it. Later that afternoon, Sharon headed back that way to pay for her piece and I sent a check with her to pay for mine. She came back a little while later and handed me my check and said that someone had seen my necklace behind the counter and had insisted that she sell it to her and so she had! I was so disappointed....By the end of the day I was in so much pain that I went home and went straight to bed. I had some prescription strength pain medicine but I didn't take any because I knew I had to get up and get Ashton ready for school the following morning. I was awake all night and sending emails to Sister telling her about all my pain ( her husband John is a dentist) I talked to John early Friday and he said to call my dentist and let him know what was going on and that I would probably need to go in for more drilling!!!! I called my dentist and he prescribed another round of antibiotics and a steroid and told me to take the prescription pain pill and called in a stronger one! I stayed in bed all day Friday zonked ( is that a word?) out on pain meds! Now, back to Mother's Day starting on Friday! haha..... Later in the day on Friday Austin came into my room with a present wrapped for me. He said he thought I might like to have it before Saturday because they were taking me to the Museum to see H.C. Porter's Katrina exhibit. I was so totally surprised when I opened the wrapping to see the NECKLACE that I thought had been sold!!! He had gone to the booth and bought it for me on Thursday!!! How sweet is that!!!
On Saturday ( I was feeling much much better, still taking meds though) Ashton and I went shopping that morning while Mark and Austin played golf and I went to Chico's to find just the right outfit to wear with my new necklace! I left wearing a new pair of jeans and a beautiful orange wrap! They had to cut the tags off me! haha.. We met Mark and Austin for lunch at Brent's and then went to the museum. It was a fabulous day and it wasn't even Mother's Day yet....
On Sunday we headed to Port Gibson. We cooked hotdogs on the grill and had a great lunch and then worked in the yard. Mark and I cut down tree limbs on a huge tree we thought we were going to cut all the way down until we realized that it blocked a view that we wanted to stay blocked! haha.... Austin dug a huge hole in the yard where we moved two hydranga's ( he found an awesome old ink bottle buried in the dirt) while Ashton and I layed on a quilt with Beau and watched. It was a wonderful wonderful Mother's Day. They also ordered me an awesome cruiser bike with a basket and bell, but it didn't make it in time for Mother's Day. I'll show pictures of that later with Ashton ( she's getting one for her Birthday!) What an awesome family I have! I'm a lucky lucky girl!
