I wish it didn't have to end.

This was such as great weekend.

I spent Friday night with the boyfriend.  We had pizza & watched Sherlock Holmes.  I live for nights when it's just the two of us doing nothing at all.

On Saturday DJ's sister had us over for a Mother's Day dinner.  There was picnic food & chit-chat.  I am so ready for summer & more of the same. 

Afterwards my best friend Amanda & her husband came over.  Even though DJ & I have been in our house since the end of January, we did not have a blender yet.  Our friends bought one for us as a late housewarming gift so we could make mudslides!  We drank too much & played board games.  (FYI...If you don't own Life Twists & Turns, you should.).

Last summer a coworker of mine suggested a drink called a Transfusion.  Amanda & I made some for ourselves last night, & they were excellent!  It's vodka, Sprite & grape juice.  I am currently envisioning us spending hot summer nights sipping more of those on my deck in the very near future.

Today was a typical lazy Sunday.  I work up earlier than I would have liked to & cleaned a little bit.  This afternoon was a Mother's Day party with my family.  We got together at my aunt's house.  There were lots of snackies & more pizza (You can never have too much pizza!).  We watched some baseball, then some basketball & then my MomMom opening her gifts. 

I got home about an hour ago & my own mother just texted me to say she is already wearing the PJs DJ & I got for her.  I had a bit of an issue with my mother not too long ago which you can read about here.  Lots of people (DJ in particular) don't understand why I would even want to be around her on Mother's Day...let alone give her a gift. 

What most people don't understand is that I had a very, very dysfunctional relationship with my father - until three years ago, when I stopped talking to him completly.  For better or for worse, she's all I've got.  Although our relationship isn't picture perfect, I know that I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for her.  And that is at least worth a pair of PJs.
