Two Margaritas

May 5th, 2011

So it doesn’t take me two margarita’s these days to realize what a lucky lady I am…but it does help me write about it.  My in-laws are in-town and they took us out for dinner.  My b-day slash mommy day dinner..that’s right…not only am I turning 36 on Sunday, it is my first mother’s day with my newest addition….my first mother’s day with not one, but TWO amazing daughters. We aren’t huge “celebrators” around here. Actually, my hubby and I rarely buy gifts for one another.  Don’t get me wrong…we LOVE throwing a good shin-dig, but when it comes to he and I…we are pretty simple.  We recognize we love each other tremendously and don’t feel the need to spend lots of money on another “thing”.  An experience maybe…but we already have enough “things”. 

Anywho..I had not one..but two margaritas tonight….which for this lightweight equals tipsy!   I guess you could say I had one for each kiddo…the first one loosens you up a bit and then #2 really puts you over the edge..HA!!  We have such a great time with the in-laws..or as I like to call them G-Ma and G-pa.  They are no fuss and I absolutley love the way they adore my girls.

Chillin’ with G-Ma!!

 I have learned in my lifetime to not take that stuff for granted, not even the love of family, and appreciate all the good that comes our way…and I feel like it just keeps coming.  Nothing specific has happened since the wonderful news of Ruby Doobs hole in her heart closing on it’s own…just a general feeling of overall contentment.  Ruby (through her amazing progress thus far) has given me the confidence I need to feel like “I can do this”…by this, I mean give her what she needs..give her what she gives me every day…JOY..HAPPINESS..UNCONDITIONAL SMILES ALL DAY LONG!!  The feeling both my daughters give me..they make me so proud to be in the catagory of mother it’s ridiculous.  I feel like my heart is so ginourmas (yes..it’s a word..I think :)) one can see it beating out of my chest..and that’s the truth.  My smile comes from the love of my Sweet lil’ family….and that’s NOT the margaritas talking  🙂

Take # 45 to get girls both looking our direction in princess gear

Happy Mommy’s day to all the wonderful Mothers of littles, bigs, specials, and even the four legged variety!! LUV LUV!!
