my first mother's day - Color Me Meg

so, this was meg weekend.

{underwhelmingly unphotographed}

friday was my birthday,

and sunday was, well, you know…. mom day

my birthday consisted of cuddling up with B,

my saved DDP {for just such an occasion},

and about 5 saved Ellen’s… {i was behind.}

it was great.

i didn’t feel any pressure to get crap done,

and when it came to dinner, after day 5 of P90x {crazy tired},

we decided to order out.

chinese and more ellen for me.

here is one thing i have learned about being married to a man:

i know he is crazy busy and doesn’t have a whole lot of “extra time”

so when it comes to gifts, i figured he would need more than a strong hint.

i told him on wednesday that i wanted teeth whitening and makeup.

{lets just say, i have been feeling less than cute these days…}

so for my birthday, i got the best whitening out there.

{and some pretty flowers}

me = happy camper.

before church on sunday,

i found me a delightful gift with all kinds of beautifying goodies that more than boosted my spirits.

i put on my tanning lotion, used my new straightening juice,

new makeup, and found a dress that fit that wasn’t black and boring…

needless to say, it may have been one of the few days since baby that i felt beautiful.

thanks, sweetheart, for giving me a glimpse into normalcy

and a mini ego overhaul.

best. mother’s day. ever.
