May Day Wednesday Hodgepodge Vol 25

Welcome to the Wednesday Hodgepodge...link your post at the bottom of this one and enjoy hopping around to some of the other participating blogs today. After you read my answers of course!

1. Have you ever been served breakfast in bed? Did you enjoy that? If someone were serving you breakfast in bed this coming weekend what would you hope to see on the tray?

I have but not in a long long time. I enjoy the thought that goes into the act but my family has to get up pretty darn early to serve me breakfast in bed. What would I like to see on the tray? A steaming cup of coffee, french toast, some fresh fruit, and a nice piece of jewelry. Hey, it is Mother's Day!

2. What is one piece of advice you would give a new mother?

Be in the moment. Enjoy the moment. Don't spend each season of childhood wishing for the next. Enjoy the days because the years they are a-fleeting.

3. When was the last time you wanted to scream? Explain.

Well, I just wrote three paragraphs about a recent trip to the grocery store and the many frustrations I experienced there. It sounded super whiny so I deleted it and instead will just say that shopping trip about did me in. I will spare you the details. You are welcome.

4. Can you hula hoop?

No. If you saw my hips you would think surely this woman can hula hoop but I have two daughters who are miniature in size and they can both hula for hours. They barely move and that hoop just spins and spins.

5. What is something people do in traffic that really bothers you?

I think most of my pet peeves revolve around driving. If I'm only picking one I'll say people driving slow in the fast lane and people texting. Okay that's two but come on people!!

6. What do you do when people don't admit they're wrong?

Feel a sense of injustice and quietly fume. I get over things pretty quickly though.

7. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word 'fun'?

My husband.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

This picture is from my very first Mother's Day...

I remember that day...hubs was out of town on a business trip and I spent the weekend with my family. My sister had us all for lunch and this picture was taken in her backyard. Such sweetness.

This year I will be helping that tiny little thing move her furniture from one state to another. There will be sweating and steps and heavy lifting and driving and more sweating and more heavy lifting. Not the same sort of fun as my first Mother's Day but the sweetness is still there.

In fact I'd say it's even sweeter.
