After a long tax season break from seeing each other, my mom finally had time to come over from Scottsdale for the weekend. She brought her two Maltese puppies Rocco and Barkley and hit the road. On Thursday I drug her along to a school board meeting to recognize the HB Teacher of the Year (the hot PE teacher from middle school got it...maybe another year for Christy and I) and we had pizza and a Lakers game.
Friday Mom came with me to school and I put her to work on our end of the year scrapbooks and "Grandma Cheryl" got to be the Royal Reader twice, of course reading "How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight" for Dinosaur Week. Friday night we were pooped, shopped around at IKEA, and to tell you the truth got McDonald's Drive-Through and it was amazing.
Saturday I had to work for a bit since it was the AVP Volleyball Tournament directly in front of my restaurant all weekend so Dett came down in the afternoon to hang with mom.
When I got off the girls picked me up and we went out for Mexican Food. I'd been trying to sell my futon for awhile so we'd have it out of the nursery/house and while I was at work the people came to look at it and wanted to buy it. Yeah! Craigslist is super shady and 2 people tried to do the same scam on me...over a FUTON. But...I made $150 off it so that's the best part, even though mom went from a bed to the couch. :) Dett helped carry the futon to the guy's truck and with each step her dress got lower and lower cut. I was laughing so hard, I think I almost made her drop it. When we got home from dinner I put mom and Dett to work carrying furniture from the garage to the nursery while I directed them. They worked so hard, so I have to give some of the credit to Mom and Dett for the nursery's cuteness. Dett rocked me in my chair (Ha!) and then left to meet her parents in Solano Beach. Mom and I relaxed and watched the Lakers again.
Sunday I had to work again, and mom had to hit the road. It was a fantastic weekend and I just love how I can totally relax with my mom and it's like we have had no time apart. I miss her so much between visits and actually tried to convince her to just move over here to HB. She'll be a great grandma because she has been an amazing mom. XOXO
This post made my day. I love the pictures-especially your mom as the Royal Reader. Your mom is such an amazing woman and I know she'll be a great GRANDMA.... I wish she would move to HB too. Love you all!
ReplyDeleteSounds like perfect weekend. I love how your parents go to your class when they visit - I'm sure the kids just love it.
ReplyDeleteI love that the picture is so your mom, with the deep, deep voice. Glad you had such a good time with her.
