It's often hard to get time with Mom. She works a lot, and goes to bed a good 3-4 hours before me. This past year at school, my mom became more of a friend to me as opposed to a "guardian" type figure in my life. Therefore, when I am home it is hard when she is having to work. I get to see Dad and Kole a lot, but time with my mom is often rare.
Today, I got all day with her. I decided to go with to Fiest in order to help out and knowing that I would get a good few hours to be with her. We were working the entire time, but we got to be together while we were busy. She got to hear my funny/awkward moments just minutes after they happened and I know they were better stories that way. After working, we ran to Kohls to look for "roll up jeans" (aka capris), but were unsuccessful. We then came home to relax and make weak attempts at power naps before heading out to dinner with Dad and Kole. After dinner we all played 500 as a family, where Mom and I DOMINATED the last round, coming back with a 9 Hearts bid to win the game. It was incredible and left both of us all grins. At that point it was 8:45 and past Mom's bedtime, so she went to bed while I ventured up to finish up some last minute details.
Today was such a good day. Not because working was exceptionally fun, but because I got to spend the entire day with my mom. These days are so few and far between now, but today was such a great day with Mom!
