My First Mother's Day

I'm not sure what makes me feel that time is passing me out of control: realizing that I am 27, the fact that I have been married over 6 years, or that this Mother's Day I am actually a mother. Going to the Arboratum for Mother's Day was a good idea--a bit too much of a good idea. I've seen that place packed before, but never like this--not a parking place to be had. So we ended up going with plan B.2--Panara and ice cream at G&G's. Tiger went to work and dug me my garden for Mother's Day instead. It was nice to be with mom & dad & gram & gramps, but I was pretty wiped out. Daddy & I went on a walk around G&G's neighborhood. The day started out quite cool but by the time we went on our walk it was a quarter-past hot. Things were just low-key all day, not a whole lot to report other than it made my heart glad to watch my grandpa go gooey all over Lily, Gram, too. I am so thrilled that she gets two great-grandparents. Mine meant a lot to me. I just hope and pray that they are around long enough for her to get to know and love them the way that they get to know and love her. I bothered to get some shorts--mom helped with that. I'm not crazy about them, but they will do until I can wear my "real" clothes.
