Happy mother’s day to all the wonderful moms out there!

1. The sunflower or pumpkin plant (my 6 year old forgot) that my son secretly sprouted from a seed for M’s Day:)
2. Catching up with my BFF over a bottle of red wine in beautiful West Seattle.
3. My husbands awesome friend Dug. He is currently crashing on our couch until godknowswhen and it is super cramped in our 800 square feet apt with 3 adults and our 2 kiddos, but…. My husband has been feeling lonely and homesick for months and I can see how happy he is to have a homie again. Hooray for homies!

1. Hemp milk! I’ve been drinking it for a couple of months and don’t miss cow’s milk at all. Even better, I’ve been using it in cooking and my hubby hasn’t commented on any strange tastes!

2. The OSU Ren Faire. My hubby and I went to the Ren Faire that is held every year on the South Oval of The Ohio State University. It’s so much fun to go to and I ended up getting quite a few cool things that were from awesome, local artisans!

3. My hubby. I always love him, but today, with the Ren Faire and then a stop at a great comic book store, I was able to have a wonderful geeky day with him. It’s been a while.

1. CHOCOLATE PANCAKES. Okay, so every week that I remember to comment here, pancakes are probably on my list. Whatever. This week’s stop on the Tour de Pancake is chocolate pancakes with chocolate chips. Woot!

2. The surprises in my new yard! All spring has been full of surprises! First there were daffodils and hyacinths, now there are pretty white flowers and irises and azaleas! There are still other mystery plants in the yard that have not yet revealed themselves!

3. That I am almost done with the semester. I love what I’m studying. I really do. But lately I just haven’t had school-brain on. I want to garden and houseclean and cook… I’m just feeling more housewife and less grad student lately. My last class is Monday, I have a project due Tuesday, a final next Saturday, then the following Monday. Phew!

My love list:

1. 10 months with my sweetie pie! And its been wonderful!

2. Finished a 5K last weekend! Didnt run as much, but I finished it. I want to get back to doing 4 5K’s a year…

3. Mother’s Day: My 16yo daughter really pushed some buttons yesterday, but I am so glad I am a mother. I miss my son (14) living with me too, (he lives with his father about 30 min away) but finances, and his need to be around more testosterone, lol, dont keep us from our love! Also, I am making mothers day cards, like I did last year (see my Mother’s day on a budget post on my blog)… FUN!

4. Spring! Its still lovely here in the South…

Happy Mother’s day to everyone! We are all mothers, whether we have human children, animal children, great projects and/or careers, or ideas!
