What I mean by that is that I can't wait until I am not able to remember what the count is on the number of eggs our chickens have laid. Today, I found #6 in the egg box. It's another *beginner* egg but an egg, nonetheless. At least we are starting to see more of them.
Chewlee took home one of her pictures. I don't know if her mother will let her put it up on her wall but she wanted to keep it. When her mother came to pick her up today, she gave her the flowers she had, along with a few from the flower box out front. The flowers there are some of the wildflower seeds that she had sowed in it that didn't come up last summer. She also gave her some of the cards she had made that were cute. That was a class project that I think all the kids made up.
The Princess brought me six donuts for Mother's Day. They were more the type that the Beast likes but she thought she was bringing us breakfast, I think.
My son, Mustachio, ended up calling me again because he said his day wasn't as busy as he thought it would be. Also, my daughter, Buttmunch, called me and we talked for quite a while. I was surprised that my son, Marcus, didn't call me since he is usually the first one. However, I knew he had a busy day planned for his wife and his son, Doc, was home for almost three weeks to recuperate from knee surgery. He's been in the Marine Corps now for almost five years, I believe. He'll be getting out soon but the whole family was excited about being together. My granddaughter, Aimee, and her husband and son were going to be getting together to go to RenFair with them this weekend.
I know from experience that it's a tiring time, albeit, fun. Just seeing the costumes from the players is a real experience. There's a lot to see and do and I am sorry I didn't realize it was going on in time to go with them. Oh well.
Other than that, it was a nice, quiet day for us. The Beast left the house early to meet up with some people from church before going to his regular church service. So from 9:30am until 3pm, I had the house to myself and it was nice to just be alone for a while. When he got home, he decided he was finally going to run to the store to pick up a few things that I had requested for whichever of us went first. I had a short list made up since both our memories stink on that stuff. We always forget something important. Even with a list, he forgot to pick up whipped cream for the strawberry shortcakes that I had planned for dessert for us today. It works for tomorrow, too.
I'm going to make some fried chicken up for us tomorrow, I think. We have the makings for it now. He got some of the biggest thighs I have ever seen today. I had said either legs or thighs since we both prefer dark meat fried up over light. I'll make some mashed potatoes, too, and some broccoli for a change. He said it would be nice to have some homemade fried chicken for a change and I agree.
Time for bed. It's late but I did have a nice nap today so I am just slightly tired. But I want to get to sleep. If I stay up much longer, I will wake up fully and not get to sleep until 4-5am. And that sucks.
Love you all. Be good. Be happy. Have a great week and I hope all the mothers that read this had a great Mother's Day. ***Hugs***
