Happy Mother’s Day!
May 11, 2008 by Sarah Ludwig Rausch
It’s a little late to say that, but I was just so busy doing nothing that I forgot all about it until now. =) I had it pretty easy today, for a change, which was wonderful.
Last night, my kids brought me pizza and a bouquet of beautiful flowers (roses and “sunflowers,” which are really some other kind of flower, but they know I love both) in one of my favorite color combinations — sunny yellow, sunrise pink, pale peach and snowy white. Today they surprised me with homemade cards (though Rachel purchased one for me over a week ago), a dock for my iPod (awesome!!), some flavored coffee and tons of hugs and kisses.
I got a nap in after church, which was heavenly; lounged around and watched “Jon & Kate, Plus Eight,” which I had never seen; and read more of the book I’m currently into, “Mistress of the Art of Death,” while I was served refreshments. Of course, I cleaned, did some dishes, laundry and cooked the pizzas in between all this, but still, being able to relax so much is a luxury, as all you busy moms know.
It was a really nice day. I feel very spoiled.
And very sorry that the day is now over. =P
How was your Mother’s Day?
