That Was Mother’s Day


Yesterday was Mother’s Day. Joe had to work so my morning was spent with Aaron. I guess you could say that I spent Mother’s Day being a mother. It was the highlight of my day. He is such a good baby and I am so blessed.

In he car, he is happy.

In the tub, he is happy.


Hanging out on the floor on his blanket, he is happy.


He did wake up at 2:00am crying for some weird reason. We don’t rise till 6:00am in the Pinkelton house and after about 20 minutes he went back to sleep. But it is all good. He is a baby afterall.

I don’t think it is fair that the holiday is about the mom. Without Aaron I would not be one.

Joe came home around 9:00 and my real celebration could begin. Sitting on the sofa with him watching Sunday night cartoons is what I consider a good night. Tonight we do dinner at my choice of restaurant.

Allow me to brag and say that with this family, everyday is Mother’s Day.

Dance girl dance

I will admit I am late to the Wendy Williams game. Living in Atlanta I never listened her radio show and only learned of her shooting from the tit interview style after the infamous Whitney Houston episode.

Break to December 2010. I go on maternity leave and I flip the channels and land on her show. She is obviously not petite (six feet I think). And she is simply telling it like it is. She says what everyone else is thinking but are too wuss to say. I can see how people may think she is a bit harsh and brash. Apparently she really pissed Method Man off by asking questions concerning his wifes health. While I do believe that every person has a right to their personal life she is asking the same questions you know you would ask if you were in her size 11 shoes. I love this girl.

She is now blowing up all over the place and is shaking her rump on Dancing with the Stars. Apparently she is a bit self conscious and is having to work at becoming comfortable with her dancing self. She placed near the bottom of the votes and will need to work to pull up her numbers. This makes me see her as an even better person because even though she has never done anything like this before she is trying it. She is giving it a shot and I say hats off to her. She may not win but man is she getting a killer workout in the process.

Another reason to watch: Ralph Macchio is on there and that dude is 49! Does he look it? No. He still looks twelve. Sold his soul to the devil I tells ya!!

Adventures in Decorative Dreaming

So Joe dreamed last night that we moved into a new and larger home. It was all good and cozy except for the kitchen. It seems that the walls were Pepto pink and the floors were pink and green plaid tile. When he told me this my first thought was that I hate Pepto pink and would never paint anything that horrible shade. My second thought was I wonder if anyone does make plaid tile because that would KICK ASS!

On the sofa

Listening to Aaron cry it out during his naptime which will guarantee he will be exhausted when he wakes up making bath, bottle and bedtime that much easier.

Actually I was thinking about my next step in life and the power of positive thinking.

And also about how Talbots has read my mind this season and has the cutest clothes for spring. Very up my alley with all of their full skirts and kitten heels! Go to their website and check it out. Surprisingly awesome!
