May Mayhem
It’s Cinco de Mayo already. I can’t believe it! That just means to me that my busiest summer ever is beginning! I don’t know if I am prepared for it all, but I know that I am looking forward to it!
The first excitement of May is coming for me on Mother’s Day on May 8th.
This is the first time in five (5) years that I will have my children with me on Mother’s Day. It’s taken that long, plus a visit to court to get my ex to abide by the divorce decree, which states that I am to have the children on Mother’s Day. Since it falls on a sunday and he still has the children with him on sundays, he’s refused to allow me to take them for the day. For these past few years I’ve spent the day sad and missing my children greatly while visiting my mother in law with my husband or working. Finally, I get to have Mother’s Day too! That makes this year a very special Mother’s Day for me. It almost feels like my very first Mother’s Day ever as a new mom! Sounds ridiculous, I know, but I can’t help feeling giddy about it!
Since my youngest daughter has never even been to the Phoenix Zoo in all of her five years, and it’s been at least that long since I was able to take the other two there (I was pregnant with Bean the last time I took them), we decided that we wanted to spend Mother’s Day playing together at the Zoo! I can’t think of a better way to spend the day than doing something we all enjoy immensely and spending our day all together! Well, not all together. We will be going with Desiree, her hubby, and little D as well, only my husband will not be able to be there with us. I just hope that he’ll be able to join us for our Sunday Spagetti dinner that evening, since Des and her family will be joining us for dinner as well! Yes, Des and her family will be at my house! I can’t wait!
Hubby wanted very much to come with us. He called his mom last night to let her know that we would be coming over to see her for Mother’s Day on saturday instead of sunday, since we were going to be at the zoo all day sunday. That didn’t sit well with her. She was very much less than happy that her son was not going to be coming on Mother’s Day to spend the day with her and she let him know it in a major way. On top of the massive guilt trip that she laid on him, she also told him that the wedding reception she was throwing for us on May 20th was off. When he hung up the phone he was so angry he yelled at me for ruining Mother’s Day and the reception for us. I understand where his anger is coming from and I let him vent for a little while. I then suggested that he go ahead and spend the day with his mom and I will take the kids to the zoo as planned. It doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is when his mother gets angry with him, he gets angry with me. I don’t want my Mother’s Day ruined because he’s angry, so I’d rather just go without him. I am just so excited that I finally get to have a Mother’s Day with my children, that I don’t care how much it upsets someone else! I am going to have the best Mother’s Day I’ve had in a very long time!
I am just as excited about finally getting to hook up with the amazing 3T for a girlfriends lunch in the next week or so! We’ve been trying to do this for a couple of months now, and for one reason or another we have had to postpone each time. This time we are doing it, and I am excited to meet her face to face! I have a feeling we are going to be giggling like school girls the whole time!
On May 21st I get to go to a Girls Only Passion Party with my friend Shelley. I went to one a few years ago with another girlfriend of mine and it was so much fun! A room full of women, naughty toys and creams and anything you can think of, mix that with a little alcohol and WHAMO! You’ve just concocted a majorly good time! Well, as long as all the women in the room are cool. I know the last one of these I was at they were. I am just hoping that these women will be too! I will only know two others, besides myself, so I guess we’ll see! 
And, no you sickos, it’s not an orgy! Puh-leeze.
Pretty soon I am going to have to start shopping for new clothes to take with me to Cancun! I hate shopping, but worse than that, I hate the clothes that I have and refuse to be caught dead on the beaches of Cancun in grubby gym shorts, sweat pants, and holed up t-shirts! Whats worse is that I need to buy a new bathing suite too! EEEEK! I have been having nightmares about it even. I really hate shopping. Especially for bathing suites! I am going to drag Desiree around with me for this shopping trip to help ease my misery and find clothes that will look decent on me. Love you Des!
As you can see, the fun is just beginning! Now, off to complete some not-so-fun house cleaning duties so that come sunday, my house is clean for my guests! After that I have to *gulp* go shopping for my mom and grandmother for sunday! I always buy them pretty little gifts and leave them on their doorsteps on saturday night. I do this because Mother’s Day is usually busy for us all and sometimes it’s hard to meet up. That way they get to wake up on sunday morning to a little surprise on their doorsteps!
Have a peachy Cinco de Mayo all, and, don’t do anything that I wouldn’t do!
