My Fabulous Mother’s Day
myjaxon May 11th, 2009
I actually had a fabulous Mother’s Day this past weekend, which all started out on Saturday night when Jesse and I went out on a date for the first time in 2 years. It was awesome. My father came up and babysat the monster while we went out and had some fun.
The last time we went out, we saw The Transformers and Saturday we saw Star Trek, which just happened to have a trailer for the new Transformers movie. However, before we went and saw that fabulous movie, Jesse and I did something we haven’t been able to do in awhile. We spent 1.5 hours at Barnes & Noble and browsed the aisles. We weren’t together the whole time; he went and looked for books he was interested in and I did the same, but then we met up in the Cafe area and just sat and read. It was great. I haven’t been able to do that in awhile. I think the last time I spent any length of time in a book store was last August when I went to the Borders in Ann Arbor for the Sherrilyn Kenyon signing. While we were at BN, I did find some interesting novels and my TBR list was expanded again.
As for Star Trek, I liked it. I’m not a huge trekkie fan, in fact, I’m not a trekkie fan. I used to watch Deep Space Nine years ago, but I couldn’t tell you anything about it, who was on it, or what it was about. In fact, I only remember truly watching it once while I was cleaning up the play room (I was probably 12 at the time, I don’t know). So while I know that Star Trek is a huge franchise, I really didn’t have any expectations going into the movie except thinking that “It’s another one of those“. But I have to say, it was a great movie. There were a few parts I wasn’t crazy for (the obvious one liners that were from the original Star Trek that were thrown in to appease the fanatics), but overall I would go to see any sequel with this cast of characters.
Sunday was pretty good as well. I didn’t get to sleep in, but that’s okay. I made breakfast for all three boys and then they fixed my refrigerator. Sorta. We’re still not sure why it’s leaking water (we’re going to thaw the whole thing out and hope there was a huge ice blockage), but the doors are now opening into the kitchen instead of into the living room. I’m loving it. After that, all three left the house! I was able to check my email in silence and then I promptly took a nap. Of course, Ian and Jesse woke me up when they got home, but that was perfectly alright. They brought me hoem something and Ian was excited to show it off. Both of them were wearing excited smiles when they showed me the Wii Fit. I’ve been wanting one (and I’ve already logged an hour on the thing), so this was a great surprised. I got hugs and kisses from both and then Jesse went to put Ian down for his nap. I ended up with a 4 hour nap yesterday. It was awesome. Of course, I was tired the rest of the day, but it was still good. We played with the Wii Fit, dinner was simple and Ian went to bed really well – so the night was really relaxing. It was great.
So that was my mother’s day. It was a good weekend.
