Happy Mother's Day

On Friday, I finally finished my Baby Registry at Target with my sister Cyncere. We had a ton of fun with that scanner as you can see below.




I actually thought we were going to go crazy with the scanner and scan everything but we were quite disciplined. Thank goodness for lists and sticking to them. In the pictures you will see my Baby Bible Binder, that has all of my baby information, plans, calendars, lists, etc. I never do anything baby-related without it. I have a few twin related items to include in the list and then I will be completely done with that.

After that, I went to the movies and saw The Great Gatsby with Leo DiCaprio. I usually don’t go to the movies because in my opinion it is sooo over-priced but I bit the bullet to see this movie. I guess Leo still has that effect on me. I really enjoyed the movie and the soundtrack. It had so many funny one-liners! If you aren’t into longer (2.5 hour) love stories, I don’t think you should see it, but I’m a big ol’ sucker for a romance!

Saturday I woke up early (6am) drove up to Sacramento to ride with some of my Fedex Aids Lifecycle teammates. We went 70 miles which is a distance I have gone before, but this time, it took a lot out of me. I think it was because it was 90 degrees outside. Needless to say, I got home around 5-6pm and passed out until midnight. I hate waking up at that time and roaming around the house like a zombie, incapable of going back to sleep. I finally got back to bed around 4pm. Although the ride was harder for me this past weekend, I can’t help but feel excited about this ride since it is only 3 weeks away. I’m most excited about completing the journey but also about not having to train and getting my weekends back. =)

Yesterday was Mother’s Day so I just wanted to recognize all the amazing mothers out there, including some of those LGBT parents, who at times must play both mother and father. I was tickled but also touched yesterday as I received many messages wishing me a Happy Mother’s Day. It was unexpected, but I must admit, deep down inside it felt good. It felt good because even though my children aren’t in this world yet, I was already being recognized in the very special VIP club called parenthood.
