this past week has been c.r.a.z.y. i for real could not keep track of the actual day of the week. we had two overnight trips and one day off, friday, which for some reason i kept thinking was thursday. i was wrong. who needs to keep track of days of the week anyway? luckily i had the companionship of some absolutely wonderful opera arias to keep me sane :-)
on wednesday we headed down to mazatlan, that gorgeous city with the beach and mountains in the water. it was here that i took this picture
for mother's day this year my siblings decided to do a photo collage of each of us spelling out "i <3 mommy." it was our way of saying that eventho we're all very far apart and rarely make it home, no matter where we are, we love our mom. here's how the whole thing turned out
pretty awesome, i think. it really makes my heart happy. i'm sure it made my mom cry. and dobby even made it into the picture! he sure does love his grandmommy!!
i tend to forget about holidays like this until pretty much the last second. and then i feel terrible because i end up sending nothing and try my absolute hardest to squeeze in a short phone call and mumble something about how i meant to get a card but ran out of time or just never put it in the mailbox, blahblahblah. i'm full of excuses. basically i'm just the worst person in the world. ok, so it's possible that i'm exaggerating. i'm the second worst person in the world.
this week was a bit different, for some reason i thought about mother's day a lot. i think mostly because i was scared i was going to forget to take my picture and ruin our entire gift idea, and after i took the picture i was so excited about what this collage was going to look like. my mom receiving this gift was apparently exciting for me.
note: this is where it seems i just stopped writing. i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the mexinet was probably being super sucky so i just gave up. i promise something else soon!!!
