Woke to a cute little girl who handed me her favorite toy flower, kissed me on the cheek and said, "Happy Valentine's Day, Mommy." (I knew what she meant. And it was very sweet.)
Ate 4 or 5 (or 6) delicious gluten-free double chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast...guilt-free.
Took my first uninterrupted shower in a long time, and used up all the hot water.
Received a red construction paper heart with buttons glued on it from my little one. "This is for you, Momma. Happy Valentine's Day." (I knew what she meant.)
Received a thoughtful card from Phaeton that made me cry...they always do.
Ventured to my favorite part of town with my two favorite people.
Ate waffles in Old Town.
Went shopping and bought a few big purchases for our new home.
Checked a few more things off of our Moving To-Do List.
Experienced toddler meltdown #1 (for the day).
Continued shopping and bought one small purchase for myself - The Lumineers CD.
Didn't care that I was the only person under the age of 60 shopping in the CD section at Best Buy.
Endured toddler meltdown #2.
Met up with my mom, sister and nephew for dinner and enjoyed free TCBY for Mother's Day.
Played at the park and watched the kids run wild.
Survived toddler meltdown #3.
Decided that naps are no longer negotiable.
Ended the day snuggling with my girl on the couch.
Was reminded of how special it is that, despite the ups and downs in a day, she and I always end up this way.
Felt the baby kick more than I have any other day so far.
Received some late-night, invaluable words of wisdom from my mother.
Especially today, this Momma is -
Feeling grateful for my Mom. And so grateful to be one.
