Happy mother's day

Today is my first official mother's day as a mother. It's not particularly eventful. I had to go to all three hours of church because the primary was singing a song in sacrament and I was supposed to accompany. Of course I couldn't find the right notes to get the song started, but once I found them, it went just fine. At least I got a hershey's bar out of the deal. I'm eating it right now. I'm a little disappointed though because I know I saw my sunday paper on my lawn when I left for church, and I was going to relax and read the comics and look at the ads right now, but when I went to go get it, it was gone. Somebody stole my paper. Who steals a newspaper? Especially on mother's day. Happy mother's day to me. I have a feeling my best mother's day gift occurred earlier today. I have two visiting teachers, a younger lady from Idaho and an older hispanic lady. The hispanic woman is Sister Brown, and she is the sweetest lady, and Chloe loves her. She held her for me through most of sacrament meeting, and she even commandeered Chloe during primary so I didn't have to worry about her at all. That was nice. I was able to sit back and watch the primary kids misbehave instead of worrying about what Chloe was getting into. I've been invited to a mother's day barbecue later tonight. That'll be good. Otherwise I'd just sit around the house all alone like every other day. I still can't believe someone stole my paper.

Chloe's supposed to be finishing up the nap that she started at church, but I can hear very clearly that she's not doing that. However, she's not screaming so I'll just let her do whatever it is she's doing in there.

You know, in some ways it's nicer not having Miguel here. Take today for instance. If he were here, I know that I would have some idea in my head of what he should be doing for me for mother's day, and he wouldn't be doing it, and I'd get all pissed. Since he's not here, all I expect is a phone call. As long as he calls me, I'm happy. It's a lot easier for him to please me when he's not here. I have much lower expectations that way.

I guess that's it for now.
