Son #1 turned eleven yesterday. Crazy. Celebrated over sushi at Shiki on Friday night followed by gift #1 from Uncle Kevin & Aunt Sue (huge hit!), pancakes with Grannie and the other Aunt Sue on Saturday morning and gift #2 (huge hit!), gifts from us at noon (huge hit!) and a sleepover with his friends (aka hours and hours of xbox: huge hit!). All-in-all, a successful day.
Looking forward to going to church with my mom this morning and heading to Gallea's afterward to buy some plants for her front and back porches.
Later today? Going to Skaneateles for the day to walk the little shops and then to the spa and for dinner/sleepover at Mirbeau with my girlfriends. Cannot wait. We didn't intend to go on Mother's Day specifically -- none of us realized it when we booked. Nothing says Mother's Day than a day without your kids. D'oh!
In tribute to the best mom a girl could ever have: one song, among many, that reminds me of my fabulous, soulful mom.

Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day to Grannie Annie. You are the bestest mom ever: beautiful, funny, sarcastic, smart, thoughtful, kind and generous. If Willie Nelson ever met you, I guarantee he'd leave his fourth wife for you. What's not to love?

Mini-weekend: Day 12
Celebrated Son #1's ninth birthday yesterday which he entitled "BBE" for best birthday ever! Legos (exactly what he wanted), gift cards, cash, yellow balloons, a Dragon Fable Dragon Amulet and an EyeClops BioniCam make for a BBE, for sure.
I also went to Son #2's classroom where the kids sang songs and read stories to all of the moms for Mother's Day. I hung out with the only other two moms that I know from that class. One is a virologist and graduate school professor who had to reschedule her 2:00 p.m. class. The other is an OB/GYN who had to reschedule all of her patients that afternoon. It was so stinkin' cute that it's worth it. Some other mom blew into the classroom over 15 minutes late and timed perfectly to interrupt her son's story. Instead of quietly taking a seat, she stopped him midsentence and loudly proclaimed "Hi honey, I'm here" to which he quietly responded, "You're really late." She then began to laugh and tell him to carry on as if she had blessed him (and all of us) with her almighty presence. I can understand the tardiness; God only knows what happened. The shameless manner in which she descended upon us, however, was somewhat loathsome.
My favorite part was the faux People magazine cover where my picture was drawn, colored (yes, I have a large beak) and labeled as "Most Beautiful Mom of 2009" and Son #2's story inside talks about how I love to garden. Garden! If I didn't see the abysmal state of our "garden," I might think that the kids had another mom on the side. A more farm fresh version of myself. Maybe one who wears an apron and prepares organic meals. Now that would be beautiful!
