The same procedure every
Mother's Day.
IC stood guarding the bedroom early morning, 'Mama, you are not allowed to go down,' she emphasized.
Who's complaining? I stayed in bed, reading. But eventually, I had to move my sleepy body because IC refused to walk with the dog :-)
I got ready, still with IC tailing me; making sure I won't stray into territories where I am not allowed. No peeking!
Continued with the normal morning ritual: jogged with the dog running excitedly beside me, stretched and did some exercises inside the sleepy woods while the dog did it's business, played fetch and finally, gave the dog sometime to play with its friends around the neighborhood.
Yup, I forgot about the time!!! When the dog and I finally arrived home, my family was impatiently waiting for me! The breakfast table for Mother's Day is done and waiting for the most important guest, oopps!
Of course, our bread basket is filled with
assorted croissants and bread rolls from our very own cafe,
SB-BackCafe'. There's even slices of our
homemade Quiche Lorraine!
After reading the card proclaiming me 'best mama in the whole world' (ehem) and opening my gifts, we enjoyed our breakfast while planning our day -- just a quiet day at home as we were up at dawn yesterday when the whole family stayed almost the whole day working at the
cafe.
I hope everyone enjoyed Mother's Day!
A special shout-out to
Nanay.
Dear Nanay,
You're the best.
More than enough patience. More than enough grace.
Then there's your cooking. Your sewing. Your singing.
Not to mention your faith.
You have the best love!!
We love you, Nanay!
P.S. Special greets to my sister, sister-in-law and my niece. You know who you are!
