Mother's Day 2009

We had a great day today! One of the best in a long time.

After sleeping in until 7:30 am (and yes, that is an accomplishment,) we went to the beach and had some fun.

Here is my mother's day greeting from Josh:

My Mommy
by Josh Yancey

My mommy's name is Leslie
and her works at her work.
I don't know how old she is
or what her favorite food is.
But her favorite movie is the dog one we
watched and she likes red.
My favorite thing about Mommy is that
I love her!

Stood Up By an 8 Year-old

This weekend my husband took Joshua to North Carolina to see his family. When he mentioned going, I suggested Tyler, our eight year-old stay home with me since we hadn't had some time together in awhile.

Years ago, Tyler and I started a tradition by going on some "dates." Daddy would give him the money so he could pay and we did something special. Whether it be going to the movies, bowling or just getting some ice cream. So when we had this opportunity I was excited.

Nope. Reality check. Tyler said, "Momma, I just want to play with my friends." So no bowling, no movies, and the only kind of ice cream I ate was the Ben and Jerry's pint I bought. Funny thing is...I don't even like ice cream that much.

I now understand that standing up a girl isn't just a "man" thing. It happens when boys are young and realize that maybe its less of a hassle to just hang with your friends.
