Mothers Day....

Ahh, Mother's Day...what a great day! Normally, my family doesn't celebrate mother's day. We don't really do father's day either. However, other people celebrate mother's day...like Aya's family.

What does that mean? At first, I thought it was Aya getting together with her relatives and leaving JT at home with me for the day. I figure for Mother's Day, I can watch JT. Luckily, Aya's family all wanted to see JT. Initially, I thought it was family get together for women or mothers only (Aya's family does that...they call themselves the Joy Luck Club). Only AFTER did I find out the spouses all went...except for me (bet they were all jealous....and I did ask if they were going but Aya said, "No.")

In addition, my family also had a lunch. I think it was the first time they did something on Mother's Day. Since Aya was at her family function and I was home alone...I declined. Aya however went to my family function after her family function...again, I think I was the only no show.

Oh well, Mother's Day turned out to be a Miles day of L-O-U-N-G-E. I watched movies and the Dodger game. It was a little strange to be home alone for so long. Aya, JT and I have pretty much been glued to the hip since Aya got pregnant. I also felt a little guilty, so I cleaned all the blinds. Not guily that I was home lounging, but guilty because you can just get so much more done when JT isn't around that if feels like a wasted opportunity to do stuff when he isn't there.

Hopefully Father's Day will be a repeat of Mother's Day...I loved it!

You failed to mention that you still participated in celebrating by making me yummy belgian waffles for breakfast!! Just so that everyone doesn't think you totally bailed on Mother's day.

Maybe on Father's Day you should take JT out for a Father-Son Day and leave Aya at home to lounge around and do whatever she wants. Seems like that would be fair... and that was really nice of you to make waffles.

Jenni-

Nope, Aya had her chance to lounge on mothers day but she didn't choose wisely. She took JT with her all day.

I on the other hand am going to choose wisely and want to spend fathers day alone, watching tv, eating chicken wings.

Yeah, I am nice like that to make waffles. =)
