Ahhh...

That's the feeling I have right now. 

Last week, I was a nervous Nelli {former, that is} about baseball and single Mommyhood.  Fast forward to this week {albeit, the first day that it is} and I'm feeling like I may have hit my stride. 

Perhaps it stems from a great weekend.  Saturday was spent with watching one of my students play in Opening Day of the Miracle League.  If you're ever in downtown on a Saturday, flop on over.  It's the best baseball you'll EVER watch!!!

After that, Lovebug and I traveled home for a quick lunch... then she and Coach headed out to watch cousin Austin play baseball.  You know what that means???!?!   I got the house ALL.TO.MYSELF for almost TWO.  Count 'em one...two... HOURS :) :) :).  It was the best present I could ever have asked for, really.

I did nothing but sit back, do a load of laundry, and catch up on my DVRed shows.  It was magnificent!!

Saturday evening, I made supper for the gang, and wished that my allergies would go away.  Unfortunately, I kept Coach up that night from blowing my nose.  Poor guy :(.

Sunday brought Mother's Day.  To me, it's soooo not about the tangible things.  It's about spending quality time with my family.  Coach started my day by giving me some cards and taking us all to breakfast where, *sniff sniff*, Lovebug graduated to a booster seat at the restaurant :(.  Yes, my baby turned into a big girl on Mother's Day {ya know, if you count sitting in a plastic booster chair making you a big girl, like I do}.

Once home, Coach mowed the yard and I busted a move on my laundry.  It was one of those "I'm in the laundry zone" kind of times.  Great, for a self-described OCD nut like myself :).  Of course, I also called my mommy to wish her a happy mother's day :)

Follow all of this by a trip for ice cream and take-out for supper, and you've got the recipe for the perfect day.  Oh, and Coach also ordered me {with my input} a mother's bracelet.  I can't wait for it to arrive :).

Oh, and who could forget THIS!!!

Pretty sure that's the cutest handprint tree I've seen in my entire life!!!

Ahhhh... I'm one lucky Mama.
