MY MOTHER'S DAY...

...turned out to be wonderful.

I got everyone up and made some breakfast. It consisted of leftover steaks from last night along with leftover potatoes (a recipe I will have to post soon). I also fried up some country eggs I bought at the City Market last week from an Amish farmer. Yes, I know this was a totally unhealthy breakfast but it's Mother's Day so the calories don't count.

After breakfast, we all got dressed and headed out to the Kansas City Zoo. Moms got in free today so we only had to pay for Bubba and Daddeee. Gooey's still young enough that he was free too.

We spent a gorgeous 65 degree day looking at animals and walking. And by walking, I mean walking. We walked for miles and miles and more miles. My feet are aching so badly right now, I took some ibuprofen. I'm not one to take a lot of medication but tonight it was warranted.

We bought tons of souvenirs and really enjoyed our day.

For dinner tonight we went to Big Burger. I know, it wasn't a fancy dinner, but it was an enjoyable one. Gooey and I shared an zebra ice cream cone until he realized that Daddeee's cone was all chocolate so Mommeee's wasn't good enough anymore.

Our evening is ending with baths and laying in my bed watching a movie. It'll be the Cars movie, I'm sure.

All in all, it was a good day.

Oh, I also got a gift certificate for $35 at Glamour Nails. I see a manny and peddy in my near future.

Here's some shots of our day

CHANGES ARE ABREWIN'...

If you've noticed, I've been doing a few changes to my blog this weekend. I had to cave and commit to the new Blogspot. I've spent the last year resisting the change but it became time. I've also added a few other things to the blog that I've always resisted....ads. I didn't want ads cluttering up my blog.

But I had an epiphany.

I could get more people to visit my blog and read about my oh-so-dull life if I offered giveaways. Yes, I'm now willing to buy online friends.

So more changes are to come soon. Giveaways are in the future. Don't expect anything spectacular at first. I'll be starting slow. Recipes are planned too. I have so many because I really love to cook so I've decided to share some coveted recipes.

I hope everyone enjoys the changes I'm making. If you have any ideas or suggestions for me on how to make this more interesting, fun, or whatever, leave me your thoughts. I heart other people's thoughts.

Love,
Mommeee

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY...

Today is Mother's Day. The day when all mom's are supposed to get breakfast in bed, someone else is cleans the house, and mom is to be pampered all day.

Now, in my house, that's usually not at all what it's like. I'll still be the one cleaning the house, I'll be the one cooking breakfast, but I will be pampered today come hell or high water! I'll be spoiled if I have to beat it out of Daddeee.

Now Daddeee's a good guy. He just sucks at planning things. He's a procrastinater. He's their king. It's who he is. I acknowledged that many years ago.

So here I sit not knowing what we're doing today to celebrate my day. I can't share it with you because I just don't know.

So, instead, I'd like for any moms visiting today to share what their doing today. Leave me a comment (I heart comments!) to let me know what you will be or are doing today. Give me (and Daddeee) some ideas!
