Happiness!
May. 8th, 2011 10:23 amHappy Mother's Day to all the other Mothers out there! I feel like I appreciate my mother anew knowing all the things a mother should be doing when you're little. In the past almost 7 months I've: been puked on, pooped on, piddled on, had my nipples bit, received scratch marks on my face, have my hair pulled, and been blessed with seeing the most beautiful happy smile on my daughter's tiny face when she sees me. Being a mother is a lot of work, and it's a job that never goes away. But despite the downs, I wouldn't trade anything for the last 7 months with my baby.
Yesterday was lovely weather and we went to a nearby farm to buy local fresh greens. The spinach was amazing and I got to hold a kitten and a chick! (though not at the same time.) I've held kittens before, but I've never held a chick before. I can't wait to go back, and now that I know how to get there it's so close!!!
Today I'm hoping to go to the The Ice Cream Place aka Ferris Acres. It's a dairy farm not so far from here with a ton of flavors of ice cream and COWS! (and deer, but you see those a lot up here and they don't technically own the deer.) The prices are lower than at say Coldstone and I think the ice cream is better. I wonder what the special flavors will be....
For those who haven't heard, I've become addicted to HGTV. It has inspired me to really think about the furniture I own and whether things are worth it. I love a lovely formal dinning room table set I bought at an amazing price from an Ethan Allen warehouse sale in 2000. It served us very well in our old house with its formal dinning room, but is not working so well in the townhome. (If K has his way, our next place is not going to be so big, it will just have a lot more land.) It's 72 inches long and 44 inches wide and extremely formal. We don't have dinner parties, and in the future any parties we have will likely have small children under foot. So I went to Raymour and Flannigan since they are nearby to see what they had on offer. The sales lady did not seem to get that no, I don't want a table that is 70+ inches long and 44 inches wide. I don't just want something less formal, I want a smaller table! I want to be able to fit a hutch in that room. *sighs*
