A little bit of sun...

Mother's day was GRAND!!! My hubby treated me like a queen for the day. I awoke to a nice fresh pot of coffee and bing-banging in the kitchen. He did the dishes from the night before (yes, I was slacking!!!) A mother's day card was sitting on my laptop table, it read;

For a warm and caring wife

With thoughts of caring
things you do,
with wishes meant for
all year through,
with lots of love
because your you-
A hug for Mother's Day

Have a wonderful day

Love your husband and son

p.s. We will see on getting a new bedroom set

We will see on getting a new bedroom set? We will see...lol.. Sounds like something that may or may not happen! Today is my hubby's birthday... I guess I will see if he deserves his gift? ;-) (HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!!)
The funny part is, I know what he meant by it. We are out of indoor living space and he wants to wait until we have the garage up (His b-day gift..lol) before we replace our existing set so that we can put the set we have in in the garage and he can use the dressers for tools/junk?

This summer will be spent doing a lot of outdoor projects. (HINT, HINT.. family members you know we love having company RIGHT!!!)... The plan over the next couple months (or years) are to build the garage (priority), build a deck on the front of the house, fence the backyard and make it look pretty with a stone sitting area with a pergola, numerous gardens... maybe a pond? A kid specific area etc, etc, etc
I don't know if you noticed but I do dream BIG.. ;-) All that with a broken hubby?!?

Over the years we have concentrated on getting the inside done. Now it's more than time we get our outdoor living space the way we want it. It only took us 7 years to accomplish the inside! Maybe we can manage to do the outside in less time.

I guess I got off subject getting all excited about my summer projects... back to mother's day now...

We spent the entire day outside. My cheeks and nose are sun kissed and still feeling warm. Ty rode his bike, played with his friends. I socialised back and forth between the neighbors across the street and the ones next door... Steve worked on drinking, mowing, raking and fertilizing the lawn. I bet he is HURTING today. I told him he shouldn't rake the yard, but the stubborn man HAD to. For supper Steve BBQed a rack of lamb, eggplant and zucchini (YUMMY!!) it was a perfect end to a beautiful day!

Because I spent the yesterday doing nothing but having fun I have my Sunday cleaning to do on Monday :-( I guess I should get 'er done!

Oh yeah and... Our orphanage director managed to get 2 files out of the Ministry of Interior last week. The 2 files were brought in the same day as mine (5 in total were brought in that day, 12 weeks ago) So I hope we see the next 3 come out SOON. I called the O director on Saturday. We had a bad connection, but she did say she has seen my file, it was approved and ready, but yet to be released :-( I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for her. She said she hoped it would be a few weeks. I'm not sure if she meant a few weeks to be released or a few weeks and she will be ready to come home?!? So I will put my patience hat back on, hope for the best and try to forget about it all while the time passes by, it can't be toooo much longer!?!
