The joys of Mama week

So today was my first Mama's day. It's really fun and exciting and I'm really so happy I can be here with Katherine :) Waking up at 5:30am is the hardest part of it--I was honestly joggum miserable in the beginning.. but I think I'll be okay once I start sleeping earlier.. I made her breakfast with the little ingredients I had: eggs, american cheese slices, onions, tomatoes and bacon-- my attempted but failed omelet breakfast... haha

then I dropped her off at school, picked up the newspaper and folded laundry as I watched the 6oclock news. I really felt like a mom haha. I really want to spend this week investing alot in my sister, and also gaining alot more appreciation for the kind of life my mom has been living for the past 20 years of her life. It's only the first day and its only 10am, but I'm already pretty pooped.
Yesterday, Katherine and I studied for the chem test that she had at 7am today. I hope she did okay.. we also read through Philippians together today before she went to bed. (plz pray for us! hehe)

I've schedule my break so that I'm only out when she's in school so I could spend time with her when she's home. We're going to go grocery shopping together after she gets back from school so we could cook some gourmet dinner... we'll see how that goes :)
I really want this to be a productive, fruitful, relaxing and refreshing break-- and so I've committed to spending alot of time by myself (whether that's outside, inside, in a coffee shop, at a park, in the car, etc) and I want to read more. and pray more. and really be refreshed in that way :) i'm excited.
I'm going to spend some of that time now before I start the rest of my day.
I hope everyone has a fruitful and wonderful break as well. :)
I'll keep you posted on my mommy adventures

We miss you sister, <3

Give thanks-- car rides home, good days that mend bad ones, reading, toast with smart butter, being at home with Katherine, yotb, philippians, looking forward to a refreshing week, prayer that will sustain me through it all
